Also called Black lily, Kamchatka Lily, Riceroot Fritillary, Indian Rice, Kamchatka Missonbells, Black Sarana, Northern Riceroot
A bulbous perennial native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, grown for its dark, chocolate-colored nodding flowers. Give it a cool, moist, well-drained spot and a dormant summer rest.
Fritillaria camschatcensis is a species of flowering plant native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, including northern Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, northern Japan, and the Russian Far East (Amur, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Primorye, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands). It has many common names, including Kamchatka fritillary and Kamchatka lily.
It is also called rice lily, northern rice-root, or (misleadingly) Indian rice or wild rice, because of the rice-like bulblets that form around its roots.
