I was recently speaking with a fellow who has a large hillside planted with
some very old sieboldiana type hostas. He said he never had a problem with
deer. Until he decided to add some other hostas to the hillside - Sum &
Substance among them. He said within a week the newer hostas were eaten to
the ground, but the old sieboldiana types remained untouched by deer.
