Care
Persian Lily bulbs (Fritillaria persica) can stay in the same spot for years on end. The bulbs will thrive in drier soil with good drainage. You could plant them in the border or in a rockery and allow them to naturalise. Planted in groups scattered over the whole border, they will eventually weave through the entire bed. Such a lovely thing to see.
Cut off the overblown flower stems after flowering and all the energy collected by the foliage will go into the bulb for the following year.
if you grow these bulbs in a pot, keep it pretty dry once all foliage has died back. Pot up again in spring using fresh potting compost and water now and then.

Extra

These unusual Fritillaria plants are sure to be noticed, especially when spread in groups across your garden or in large plant pots on the patio/decking.
