Gazanias evolved in rocky, drought-prone regions of South Africa. Once established, many varieties need only rainfall to thrive.

They’re so whimsical, they almost look like something from a Dr. Seuss story.

Those are alliums — pollinator-friendly, deer-resistant ornamentals that add height and drama to a flower garden.
