Re: Flowers that deer don't eat

Hi again Jenny
I just went and had a quick look and managed to lay my hands on the list we have. If I remember correctly I got this of the Internet, but for the life of me I can't remember where
Anyhow, here's the list

Deer Resistant Perennials, Bulbs and Herbs

Anise Hyssop (Agastache)
Archange (Lamiastrum and Lamium)
Bamboo (although our deer have had a go at two of our plants!)
Bishops Hat (Epimedium)
Bears Breeches (Acanthus)
Beebalm (Monarda)
Bleeding Heart (Dicentra)
Blue Fescue Grass
Blue Star (Amsonia)
Butterfly Flower (Asclepias)
Catmint (Nepeta)
Comfrey (Symphytum)
Daffodils (Narcissus)
False Indigo (Baptisia)
False Solomon's Seal (Smilacina)
Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis)

Although most of these plants can withstand a little nibbling, they wont all survive a full blown attack by a herd!!
Good luck
