Fritillaria michailovskyi is a small bulbous perennial from mountainous northeastern Turkey, growing 10 to 20 cm tall with bell-shaped maroon flowers tipped yellow in spring. The key to growing it is very sharp drainage, since it does not tolerate winter wet.
Fritillaria michailovskyi is a species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae, native to mountainous areas of northeastern Turkey. It has been named as Aslay, after Meral Aslay, a researcher from the team who discovered it. It is a bulbous perennial growing to 10–20 cm (4–8 in) tall, with narrow strap-shaped leaves and nodding umbels of distinctive, pendent, bell-shaped maroon flowers with yellow tips in spring.
In cultivation, it requires very well-drained conditions, as it does not tolerate winter wet.
