Critter Resistant Spring Flowering Bulbs
August 3, 2011

Many gardeners hesitate to put their work and money into spring flowering bulbs because they have had bad experiences with chipmunks and voles damaging the bulbs, or with rabbits and deer eating the plants once they grow in spring. When the vision of bountiful spring flowers imagined when placing the order and planting the bulbs does not materialize, it is hard to blame them.
However, there are many lovely species of bulbs that resist animal damage without repellants, chicken wire cages or fencing. True, I’m not talking about tulips and most crocus varieties, but the array of other bulbs available that shine without much effort of your part will make you forget all about them.
