Animal Proof Plants
Hey,
I am looking for plants tollerent to Animals,Kanga's & Possum Poo's, I think I will plant just about anything aslong as it grows and grows like a weed. I have found possum poo's and kanga's don't like Sweet William flower plants,actually they won't even go near them,so am planting lots of these. I am not fencing and will be exposed to bushland or Forrest,so if it can be eaten it will. average temp +4C low sun. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Oleander and a cactus with spines spines would work,but it cold,also these are expensive,not to keen on the cactus look either,I am in a lush wet area, I have 90sq meters of gardens to fill maybe more if I find something to grow. Oleander I am looking at thanks,could take a while to get going? I have ilumina as shrub tree's for borders,I had to cage these obviously. thanks. |

Bunny Rabbits a few,they are not really much an issue where I am,not enough grass,very alkaline dirt I think also,Fox's and Tassie Tigers don't come out very often,have never seen them actually. |

Agapanthus Arhh yes,I am sure I have seen these in my travels many times in different colors,I can use a few of these in open places,maybe in pinks and reds if I can find them. Thanks, Do you know of any small bush flowers,like the sweet william,that are maybe green half the year and flower when ever. small bushy and pretty. I had -10C and the last 3 weeks have been below -5C at night heavy frost and sweet williams have hacked it just,bit of leaf browing,but they handled it. Anything similar. |

Agapanthus Arhh yes,I am sure I have seen these in my travels many times in different colors,I can use a few of these in open places,maybe in pinks and reds if I can find them. I didn't know they came in red. I have heard of a plae pink one and the one clled Black Pnather, but apparently it is not a particulalry good doer. Given your conditions you might be better to stick to the older and common blue and white varieties. I'd also suggest red hot pokers - tough and not attractive to animals. Thanks, Do you know of any small bush flowers,like the sweet william,that are maybe green half the year and flower when ever. The might not be your cup of tea but the Sedum Autumn Joy might be a goer. It sort of looks like a succulent but it gets pinkish flowers in Autumn but it dies back in winter. Some of the small hebe bushes also flower well and should be tough. small bushy and pretty. I had -10C and the last 3 weeks have been below -5C at night heavy frost and sweet williams have hacked it just,bit of leaf browing,but they handled it. Anything similar. |
