Professional Growing Information I bought nine of these Proven Winners dianthus plants (three sets of three - each set a different color) last spring, specifically because of their stated deer resistance. They lasted no more than three weeks before the local deer (coastal South Carolina) ate them all up, down to the ground. Sorry, but these plants were not at all resistant to these deer. Perhaps somewhere else, but not here. One of the nine plants surprisingly started to come up again a couple of weeks ago... and this morning... gone again.
