We have discussed this shrub before, but I may have found another
good reason for growing it.
A warming, partly cloudy mode has set in here after so many cloudy
cold days. I looked at the azaleas that have been draped with old
socks filled with moth balls and blood meal and have found that the
deer are continuing to nibble away at the leaves. The five year old
loropetalum planted on a slope near the house has never been bothered
by deer. Now I find that the loropetalum I planted last fall mixed
in with the azaleas have not been touched either. So it appears
loropetalum may be deer-proof. Has anybody else had the experience
of the deer avoiding loropetalum?
