Seen in a garden catalog a plant(Coleus Canina) is supposed to keep the
cats/dogs/rabbits out of the garden.

Any one ever use it or have success with it?
Or is this another marketing gimmic?

Nothing, repeat, nothing, will stop a cat fouling your garden if it has a
mind to. The coleus Canina is not liked by cats, but they will move three
feet or so away from it and foul there instead. You could carpet your garden
entirely with it, but who wants that?
