Ha. I know. Deer will eat anything if they're hungry. But still, there are
some plants they'll ignore if they're not so hungry. Anyone have comments
about any of the plants on the list below? A gardener near my home is giving
away or selling things on the list. I'm in Western NY. She's not in deer
territory, so she can't be of any assistance.
$1 per plant. I see my future. Half my lawn gone by next week. :-)
Alchemilla mollis -Lady's Mantle
Allium tuberosum - garlic chives, showy white flower heads great for display
or cooking
Very invasive in TN - if I had deer I'd be begging them to eat it.
Allium cernuum - pink nodding umbels
Aster - "Purple Dome" - purple daisy like flowers in the fall
Astilboides tabularis - fabulously bold, tropicalesque foliage, huge
beautiful leaves part shade to bright shade
Black Eyed Susies
Deer left them alone in VT
