This is shaping up to be the worst year ever for deer damage in my garden.
I have grown epimediums and pulmonarias in my shade areas for years and never seen but a few deer nibbles on them before this year. As of this last snow, the deer have eaten every single leaflet from my evergreen epis, browsed some of the pulmonaria into the ground, even uprooting some and eating the roots, and virtually destroyed all the liriope and ophiopogon by pulling it up by the roots and consuming it. So-far, they are still only nibbling on the hellebores, but I fear they will get to them soon. Just noticed they had broken off several branches from the holly trees at the edge of the garden and reduced the aucuba to bare sticks as high as they can reach.
Deer repellant seems to do very little to stop them.
