Bog Plants - deer resistant?
Having just moved to the Charlottesville, Virginia area, we are just now
planning to sculpt our property (1 wooded acre) ...a pond in the future is a possibility. We have a moist area in the rear of our property that has a large number of ferns. We want to enhance that area by introducing some additional bog plants. Unfortunately, this community has a large deer population. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have experience...good or bad with bog plants that might be deer resistant, or plants that deer might consider a buffet in the woods that we should avoid. thanks ken quantock |
Bog Plants - deer resistant?
Hi Ken,
Aquatic plants I've seen thriving in boggy areas where deer are common as follows: Arum lilies, arrow arum, lizards tail, marsh marigold, pickerel, parrots feather, primulas, pampas grass, cannas. Not a bad choice for starters :) regards, andy http://www.members.aol.com/abdavisnc/swglist.html --------------------oo-------------------- Unfortunately, this community has a large deer population. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have experience...good or bad with bog plants that might be deer resistant, or plants that deer might consider a buffet in the woods that we should avoid. thanks ken quantock |
