Are you tired of planting tulips and crocus bulbs only to disappear because rats and squirrels consider them a delicious snack?


There are other bulbs that are less attractive to rodents and the show can be extended to summer by planting early, mid, and late flowering plants. Here are some of the ones they look like in the garden:


Kalandas Nivalis - A welcome sight in the spring of snowdrops.


‘Floor plan is a double flowering variety that marks the end of winter, even if it is covered with snow and ice to do so.


Eranthus hymenalis - one of the earliest bulbs of winter aconite flowering, sending its green leaves and bright yellow butterbur flowers when the frost is complete.


Cyanodoxa - Glory of the Snow grows to about 6 inches tall and sprays star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, blue, lavender, or white.


Although it is considered a "small" bulb, it exerts maximum effort and produces large colorful slips. After all, the squirrel does not touch it!


Skilla Cyberica - Tree Skill is very hard and easy to grow. Their bouquet, bell-shaped flowers are white or sky blue and slightly fragrant. Growing to a height of 4-6 inches, they form a magnificent display when combined with early daffodils.


Narcissus - Daffodils are pest-resistant, reliable flowers and there are many varieties that can easily dedicate your spring garden to them. For a unique one, try several flowering varieties such as ‘Spring Cheer’, which have 15-20 small, fragrant, double-flowered bouquets per stem!


Cold members of the Fritillaria lily family. The pungent odor of their bulbs repels rodents. The plants range in size from 3 feet tall to ‘Crown Imperials’ to 6 inches high F. pudica. My most favorite F. meliagris guinea-chicken flower.


Its dazzling checkered flowers come in a variety of purple and white colors.


Allium belongs to the onion family and the sharp smell and taste of their bulbs repel voles, chipmunks, and squirrels. A. Mali is the first to grow its 10-inch-tall yellow, star-like flowers. There are many varieties to choose from, ranging from Scooperty to 3 feet tall drumstick allium to bursting purple firecrackers.

Camassia belongs to the northwestern grasslands. The tubers, called quamash by Native Americans, are edible when cooked. Lewis and Clark are said to have eaten at them while exploring the Pacific Northwest. Although we can eat tubers, rodents are not attracted to them. If you have a wet spot where other bulbs refuse to grow, try Kamasia. It is perfect to be natural in a stream or pond.


In the lily family, it grows 24-32 inches tall lavender flowers above its long-short leaves.


Before the ground is too frozen to dig, select some new locations for the spring-flowering bulbs. After a long cold winter, you will definitely appreciate their cheerful flowers and early color. The best flowers of April and May should be planted today!
