If you want to keep the evil eye, negative spirits, and unwanted visitors away from your threshold, plant a few lily bulbs. These tall beauties grow three to four feet high. Not only will they bring protection to your doorstep, but they’ll also add charm. As a bonus, their trumpet-shaped flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds. [2]
