Re: Deer Resisitant Plants

At least where I live (Central valley- CA) my bottle brush does keep blooming in winter. Not as much as it does in the rest of the year mind you, but the hummers certainly are happy for the winter blooms on it.

speaking of bottlebrush (Callistemon) I've never seen deer bother that either Daryl and they are just gorgeous once they get going. I actually bought a weeping bottlebrush at Abide-A-While too!

Ugh! I hate oleander. It is everywhere here and stinks when it is in bloom. A most unattractive plant in my opinion! I'd take a bottle-brush bush over oleander anyday. At least the hummers like the bottle-brush blooms (I dare you to say that 3 times fast!)

Jim. you'd think, but I wonder if they might react to it as a NY friend's deer do to Monkshood. You'd figure there would be a lot of bodies around if it was as toxic to them as it is to humans.

And for those in warm climates, add oleander. They won't nibble on that more than once.
