Hi--
friends of ours recently moved to central Virginia. They don't know their
zone (7?). Their yard is shaded by large oak and magnolia trees. Deer are
a problem in the area, so hostas won't work for them. They can't think of
anything else to plant that deer won't eat. Also, like much of the country
they are suffering from drought conditions at least this year. I
suggested ferns, but wasn't able to recommend particular varieties. Any
other low-maintenance suggestions for plants unpalatable to deer? Thanks.
