Subject: Plants that deer do not eat
I believe that Sherri posted the following in regard to the recent herd of comments about deer:
“plant items that are not deer-friendly. That is what I do. Example, never plant hosta as this is a true delight for deer — as is tulips — instead put in zinnias, marigolds, petunias, etc.”
I have planted deer-resistant plants/shrubs such as holly and have also sprayed the plants/shrubs with products such as Deer Off, etc. The deer still visit my yard and even my patio to munch away. Perhaps Sherri could do us all a favor and post a list of plants that are truly deer-resistant. Thanks in advance.
