Wayside Gardens Fritillaria persica Bulbs
Best choice for gardeners seeking dramatic, deer-resistant vertical spring color.
These dramatic, plum-hued spikes bring an architectural edge to the garden that most standard spring bulbs simply lack. They require a bit of patience for their vertical impact to fully multiply, but the reward is a sophisticated, deer-resistant display that feels more like a curated art installation than a typical flower bed.
