Golden garlic
Golden garlic is a small plant that grows clusters of yellow, star-shaped flowers in early summer. Since it's rather short, it works best in rock gardens or planted toward the front of a flower bed.
Plant as a bulb in fall. It is one of the few bulbs that will not be eaten by deer, voles, or rabbits.
