What are the best flowers to plant so deer wont eat them...?
One of the best sites I have seen is the one listed below...it has more ideas than I can name here, but check it out...scroll to the bottom of the page.
Reply:Plant some cactus here and there.
Reply:I swear our deer will eat rocks!





I can't find a flower they won't damage.





I love the deer but they are stretching my patience.
Reply:Our deer seem to eat everything!!!! Try going to a local nursery, they will be knowledgable about this. Or, give them a call. I have decided hanging baskets are the only way to go for us.
Reply:There is no plant Deer won't eat. You can purchase "Big Cat" (lion and tiger) manure from the garden centers. This practice was discovered in China and is just now catching on in the states. They have learned that spreading this "dung" around your property scares off Rabbits, Raccoons, Groundhogs, and even Deer.
Reply:Try marigolds. Also, we buy Irish Spring soap and cut it into chunks. Put the chunks in cheesecloth and hand from a pole in your garden (do several in your garden, not just one). They don't like the smell of Irish Spring so they stay away. Also, I've heard if you put human hair in your garden the deer will stay away. Ask you beautician next time you get your hair cut if you can have her clippings.
Reply:I plant marigolds and the deer here (upper MI) won't touch them. I also use Liquid Fence around my garden and flower beds and that keeps those pesty deer away. Keeps the other plant munching critters away too.
Reply:I do landscaping... I get a lot of specialty plants like deer- resistant through Michigan Bulb. They usually have a good selection.
