Thank you for posting that list of beautiful plants to discourage deer attacks on our gardens (comment #3).

I just realized that since these are monthly threads, comments and links from other months may be hard to find again. So I am adding the word “deer-proof” to the “Keywords” list so I will always be able to find this article again. I encourage others to add a word on a special or unusual garden item or topic so you and others can find it again. I just wish I had done so for “fig” and other topics with information others provided for my questions.

The only plant I’ve ever heard is deer proof are daffodils.

I’ve heard they’re extremely toxic to deer.

So I planted a swath of daffodils and interplanted my tulips and hyacinths and never had a problem with deer eating them.
