Deer Resistant Plants
I’m sure you
know that deer
proofing
is impossible—maybe deer
discouraging
would be a better choice.
There are many
products that you can buy that will deter the deer, but the smartest
thing is to understand which plants the deer prefer. You may be willing
to spend time and money on a small
section
of your yard with sprays or other deterrents, but imagine the whole
place being planted with their favorite munchies! Plant the majority of
your property with deer resistant plants like Andromeda, an evergreen
shrub with beautiful white flowers, or Foxglove, the tall ‘cottage
garden’ perennial, or ferns and daffodils, and then focus your gardening
of tempting delights in one small area. Have a few rose bushes, or some
pots of impatiens, and treat them with an effective deer repellent like
Liquid Fence, a reliable stand-by, or Deer Scram, a relatively new
product on the market that many people have found to work very well.
