Van Zyverden Fritillaria Blend Set of 3 Bulbs Multicolor Partial Sun Perennial Deer Resistant 1 lb

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I live in an area with deer. Many of my flowering plants and my soft leaf plants like Hostas don't stand a chance, Fritillaria flowers are not their on the deer's list of food. So I can plant these beautiful flowers/ plants, have the multiple and enjoy them from late spring to summer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Van Zyverden Fritillarias or Crown Imperial bulbs were very fresh and healthy large bulbs. They were well packaged and came with a useful informative sheet. I liked that this is a set of bulbs that includes both orange and yellow varieties of flowers. I like that Van Zyverden has bulbs for unique flowers that are not common in my area and makes it easy to put in something in the garden. I like that this type of plant has some height to it and an interesting upside down bell shaped cluster flowers. Something that was surprising was that the bulbs are known for their skunky pungent smell and I could smell them as soon as they arrived even in their packaging. They are stinky and musky, so don't plant them near windows or doorways. This is why they have the Dutch nickname of “stinky lily.” Once they were planted, I couldn't smell them anymore but it is important to know about the smell so you are not surprised as I was. They were easy to plant this Fall. I am really looking forward to these bulbs blooming and thriving in the upcoming seasons!
