This garden was designed around a warm color palette of interesting bark, foliage and flowers. No fence here, but the deer aren't too interested in the resistant varieties used in this eye-catching group. Karen's go-to list for deer-resistant plants is from Rutgers. Varieties on this list are rated from A through D according to their resistance. Plants deer will head for first are rated as a D (severely browsed), while the plants receiving an A ranking will only be on the menu when a deer is really desperate. The ranking system isn't a guarantee - just a reflection of average behavior. A plant's vulnerability to deer will vary based on a number of factors. Plants ranked as A or B on the Rutgers list are the best options as foundation plantings for your deer-resistant design. They may take a hit in seasons to come, but these varieties are the least likely to suffer a deer death blow. Sometimes, deer nibbling can work for your benefit. Spirea is an example in Karen's landscape. She loves the orange tones of new growth on spirea shrubs. In fact, she prefers it to the pink flowers which come on later in the spring. Even though spirea is ranked as B by Rutgers, the deer in Karen's area are inevitably drawn to feast on the flower buds. In the process, they are inadvertently pruning the shrubs and encouraging the plants to send out new orange growth for Karen. Happy gardener, happy plants, and happy deer - that's what I call peaceful coexistence. Other deer-resistant favorites in Karen's landscape include lavenders, sages, sweet alyssum (which offers rabbit resistance too), gaura, calycanthus (also known as Carolina sweet shrub), and weigela (available in lots of forms, colors and sizes). I love calycanthus. Unfortunately, so do the deer in my neighborhood in spite of the fact that Karen's calycanthus never get a nibble. That just goes to prove there are no guarantees when it comes to deer resistance. Deer tastes vary by region, by season, and by the availability (or lack) of more appealing options. It's widely known that the most successful method for keeping deer out of the garden is a tall fence. But fences aren't always an option, or even desirable. As a matter of fact, the subtitle for Karen Chapman's newest book, Deer-Resistant Design, is certain to catch the eye of gardeners and landscape designers looking for viable alternatives: "Fence-Free Gardens that Thrive Despite the Deer."...

Deer are one of the most common problems a gardener can face. These cute but pesky animals can quickly devour hundreds of dollars' worth of plants. And common solutions include the use of unattractive fencing and chemicals. If you're looking for a sweet-smelling plant you'll love but the deer won't, flowering tobacco is it. There are several different garden-worthy flowering tobacco species, cultivars, and hybrids. Nicotiana alata and N. sylvestris are two of my favorites. All nicotianas have tubular flowers adored by hummingbirds, and since the blooms emit their fragrance in the evenings, the primary pollinators you'll spy feeding on them are nocturnal moths. Just keep this amazing plant away from your tomato plants because it can attract tomato and tobacco hornworms that may then lay eggs on your tomatoes. Still, it's a deer-resistant annual plant that's well worth growing. Plus, it's easy to start from seed and has no pest or disease issues....
