Stately yellow flowers have a pungent scent that repels rodents and deer. An eye-catching highlight for the spring garden, and perfect for mixing into plantings with other bulbs and perennials that might otherwise be attractive to wildlife.

Let these vibrant flowers help welcome spring! A cheerful sight after a long winter, combine these beautiful flowering bulbs with tulips, pulmonaria and hyacinth for a spectacular early season display. If planted in a container the previous fall, they can be brought inside for an indoor garden.

Fragrant blooms with straplike leaves are beautiful in the midspring garden. Great for forced blooming indoors or for planting along walks or pathways where their fragrance can be enjoyed. After flowering, forced hyacinths may be planted in the garden where they will flower in subsequent years.
