[Fwd: Deer]


I +must+ pass along the list of (Pasadena) deer resistant plants sent to
me by Peg Stewart, a knowledgeable and expert gardener, in the hopes it
may be of some use to those of you in No. Cal. who are plagued.

I can only think, we must be lucky compared to those who related tales
of "boar horror" in Spain and France!    J

Hi Jan --
Thanks for letting me come to Thursday.  I can't believe that Ellen is still in the class.  It was wonderful to see those long time friends.
 
Thoughts on deer:
At our house they haven't yet bothered:
  • plectranthus
  • lavanders of any kind
  • rosemary and other resinous plants
  • hydrangeas
  • abutilon
  • azaleas
  • freeway daisies
  • artemesias
  • iris
  • salvias, even the tender leaved ones
  • lambs ears
  • most succulents
  • santolina
  • limonium
  • phormiums
  • geranium incanum, but they love geranium A.T. Johnson.
  • pelargoniums
Sounds like I should quit whining and start enjoying those plants.
 
At my house they eat Algerian, but not English, ivy; citrus, fuschias, camellias, heuchera, agave with soft grey green leaves, agapantha flowers.  Pittosporum they eat right to the ground and roses go without saying. 
 
See you next week.
Peggy
