The inflorescence forms an umbel of 10–20 pendent bell-shaped flowers with six tepals that are yellowish to green.

The chromosome number is 2n = 24 [6][7] In common with closely related species including Fritillaria imperialis, the flowers of F. raddeana are often said to have a characteristically disagreeable scent.

[6] F. raddeana is found in rocky areas in Iran, Turkmenistan and Kashmir at altitudes of 900–1800 meters, but is also seen in lowlands.
