I need some advice from all you with more experience than I. I LOVE flowers in the yard, but I live in a deer infested neighborhood. I mean they are everywhere and they eat nearly everything. I have some lavender that they leave alone, but they eat things that they are not supposed to like, for example they ate all my marigolds last summer. I live in southern Oregon. Can anyone help me with truly deer proof flowers?!?!?!
I found quite a few sites that tell you which plants are resistant to deer Ruby. Here are some for you to take a look at: http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles01 ... istant.asp http://www.gardenadvice.co.uk/howto/pes ... index.html http://www.testvalleynursery.co.uk/deer ... plants.htm http://www.bds.org.uk/deer_in_your_garden.html
Whatever you do don't plant HOSTA, deer love it! I put soap shavings and human hair around last summer around the flower beds after i was invaded, as well as dried blood. that seemed to keep them away for the rest of the summer.
Eileen and Garden mama. Thanks a million. The hair and soap thing sounds easy enough and I found some good tips on those websites from Eileen.
