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. :-)


Elderberry - Ornamental Shrub "Black Lace"
Eupatorium "Chocolate" - Tall masses of chocolate-purple leaves all summer
followed in autumn with huge heads of small white flowers

Knautia macedonica -Burgandy flowers with a very long season of flowering

Can I do a deal with you for these - maybe some more interesting daylilies
or sedums.

So to deer resistant - nothing truly is, but my local deer rarely bother my
garden in preference to my lawn or the stands of jewel weed that dot the
area.
