Professional Growing Information I was excited to plant this in my border. I am careful to only plant deer-resistant shrubs and perennials, and I understand that deer will eat even deer-resistant plants if they are hungry enough. God bless them. So I came out to the garden on the third day after planting this plant and the top had been eaten off. I pulled it out because I won't stress or fight nature with preventative sprays. I have many beautiful and thriving shrubs and flowers that the deer do not bother so there is often a process of learning as I garden. Anyway, just a heads-up that you may find this perennial not very unpleasant to the deer. But, that's okay... Enjoy your gardens. Mine has been a refuge in this challenging time.
