There is occasional correspondence in the gardening groups about anti cat
plants. In T&M's new catalogue they are offering the Amazing (of course)
plant that makes your garden a no go area for cats. The ultimate
deterrent!!!
They call it the Scardy Cat plant and say it's an annual, coleus canina
Does anyone have experience of it? Does it work?

It works for the radius of the plant. i.e. the cat will go about a foot away
(if you're lucky). Of course you could fill every inch of your garden with
it but that would be a bit self defeating. The very Idea that a plant other
than maybe a triffid would make cats leave your garden alone is pure
fantasy. Buy the plant if you like it, but don't expect miracles.
