| I haven't met a deer yet who will do more than nibble at ivy- they don't seem to like the taste of it any more than I do ;) Wintergreen's another one that they leave along (the leaves taste as strong as the berries) they don't seem to like Pachysandra, either- gods knows there's enough of it growing here in 'bucks' county... Lamium is semi-evergreen in my neck of the woods (zone 6) it gets mashed pretty flat, but bounces back pretty fast as well. Goutweed (false lamium, around here it's also called 'snow on the mountian, which is a totally different plant) is fast spreading- well, no, it's downright invasive. but it's pretty, impervious to just about anything known to man, spreads quite fast (it roots at every leaf node if you'll let it) and it's another one of those things that deer can't hurt- they can chew it down to the dirt, and it'll pop right back up in the spring. |
