Now, if you can visualize... ==>> no.. i cant... to give you any good information on these specific plants ... sorry at 80ish... lets go a little zen here... what are you trying to accomplish.. on 11 acres.. with a row of these things... i presume this isnt like suburbia... where you are trying to hide from some neighbor 15 feet away .... so why not just let it go??? .... just watch and see what happens over time ... and if the deer take them.. so what???? replacing them.. or fencing them.. simply because that is how they have always been.. seems like a lot of work to me .... again.. on 11 acres ... if i were you.. i would declare it a native area.. and let the natives take over.. and see what happens.. crikey.. at 54.. i am already declaring such ... lol ... and i only have 5 acres .. dont make yourself more work.. just to keep things... like they used to be ... ken

I've had that happen numerous times since we have so many deer around. Yes, they will grow back in time. Just feed them good and find something that will keep the deer away. The Internet is full of tips from people who have had some success with certain remedies. My favorite is Milorganite. It smells awful but I put up with it just to keep my daylilies. You'll have to reapply every few months according to how much rain you get. I'm going to pick up several bags today. Not cheap but worth it but you may want to try other tips from other growers. My 10 year granddaughter suggests that I sit up all night with a gun! (LOL) I know how disappointing it is to find my daylilies nipped off. Before I started using Milorganite I went away on a trip and was looking forward to seeing the new blooms when I returned. Deer had eaten most of mine. So heartbreaking! The only upside was that I didn't have many daylilies at that time. Now I have about 10 times as many and I would be totally devasted if that were to happen. You have my sympathy. I hope you find a remedy that works for you. DD

The white plastic bags, scarecrow and garlic/egg mixture worked well on my upper level, but I resorted to large cages around each bed on the lower level as spraying that was too time intensive. This past spring I fenced the majority of the perimeter including access to my upper level, only to find they were now entering through my "back forty" where the split-rail seemed to have a welcome mat on it. I'm currently working on fixing that 5' fence to which I'll scab posts to attach chicken wire. Fortunately it's not too visible. Of course, now they'll just entire my parking area and front yard, so I'm not done with the fencing yet. My perimeter fence ended up cheap, but it's hidden by a hedge. I really feel with a lot of roses and little time fencing is the only way. Some people have made a successful one out of metal posts and heavy fishing line. Good luck, summersrhythm. Maybe they won't find you. : )

Supposed to be deer-resistant, but a deer chomped mine off at about 1 centimetre from the ground. I had planted it in June and it was doing well, but it was just one little plant. Do you think that it may come back next year anyway?
