Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking unique, deer-resistant floral accents.
If your garden needs a dose of the surreal, these bulbs deliver with wild, tendril-like blooms that shift from purple to a striking red. They are delightfully low-maintenance and pest-resistant, though their bizarre, dreadlock-inspired aesthetic is certainly not for the traditionalist.

- Gardeners struggling with deer, rabbits, or other hungry wildlife
Who should skip it
