Re: New Members
Hello Peggy,
Welcome.
I have been out taking photos of my plants sticking up through our last six
inches of now here in Southern Indiana. Sure looks great on the dwarf conifers.
There are a few perennials here that deer seem to ignore in my garden.
hellebore would be number one on the list. Never has them even nibble on that one.
They also seem to ignore Primula which is a companion to the hellebore. Lungwort
(Pulmonaria) never been nipped by deer. That is no guarantee that your local
population will not consider all of the above a snack before retiring for the day.
There is an almost endless list of perennials that do wonderfully in the
shade just giving you the ones that deer ignore here in my garden.

I am a new member of the shadegardens list and just wanted to say hello. I live
near Boston and my garden is buried under snow. I have my new catalogues. My
backyard is mostly all shade and kind of wet. Any great suggestions for some new
perennials? Also we have a ot of deer. Any suggestions for perennials that deer
do not like. The deer were munching most of the late summer and the fall.
Thanks for any ideas.
Peggy Davies
