We have officially declared war on deer. After going out this morning and finding all of our portulaca eaten, as well as my flat leaf parsley, it’s time to become even more diligent about spraying deer-off products and thinking of planting more deer resistant perennials.
One of my most favorite deer-resistant perennials is in the coneflower family (and by the way, it’s planted right next to our portulaca) and is called the ‘Indian -Summer’ Rudbekia.
Not only is it deer-resistant and drought tolerate, its strong sturdy stems make it great for fresh summer bouquets as well as a great dried flower for winter dried flower arrangements.
Check out this video on growing Rudbekia and then go to our web site for more gardening information and for a free e-book download when you sign up for our newsletter. We would love to have you stop by so check out our web site by clicking here.
