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. :-)
Alchemilla mollis -Lady's Mantle
Allium tuberosum - garlic chives, showy white flower heads great for display
or cooking
Allium cernuum - pink nodding umbels
Aster - "Purple Dome" - purple daisy like flowers in the fall

beautiful leaves part shade to bright shade

Very invasive in TN - if I had deer I'd be begging them to eat it.
>Allium cernuum - pink nodding umbels

Deer left them alone in VT

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.

If by "do a deal" you mean ship them to you, I can't really help with that,
Cheryl. I don't have time anytime soon for creative boxing & shipping. Maybe
the lady selling them would be interested if you contact her directly.

As far as daylillies & sedums, those are two plants that are pretty much
worthless in my yard because of the creature snacking. I just moved a
"Hyperion" daylilly inside the veg garden fence so I can finally enjoy some
flowers after 4 years of deer carnage. I don't have room for any more in
that part of the garden.

I just may contact her myself
Now, the deer will snack on my daylilies, but the sedums - never ever.
