I have to warn you. Nice as it is to have an effective defensive perimeter, those particular plants quite often get infected with a garish display of off-color leaves. In addition to being unsightly, they exude a horrendous odor which attracts many nuisance insects such as butterflies.

And hummingbirds. You can’t sit outside without hummingbirds complaining and squeaking because you’re near those colorful leaves. Annoying. Unfortunately, the defensive perimeter only has 39 of the plants so far. With over 80 acres, I can see no end to planting. And the odor covers up the fresh smell of cow from across the road. *sigh* Unfortunately, they do nothing for the neighbors d*** rooster.

But not to fear, if there are deer in the vicinity they will take care of the problem.
