weigela [wine and roses] - deer resistant??????
Comments (11)The deer have never shown interest in the variegated weigela and I have had lovely blooms every year, however, that is not the case for wine and roses. Wouldn't say its their favorite but they definitely eat it. I know my garden center said they were off the deer eating list as well. Guess it depends on what else is on the menu.

Comments (14)No large dogs roaming (that I know of!) though we most definitely have coyotes -- didn't hear them this summer (unusual) but have heard groups over the last few weeks. Would they eat pumpkins (if so, why??) The mouth "pad" in deer is most curious...do all ruminants have one, I wonder?

Comments (5)We have a terrible deer problem here, so my heart goes out to you, Indyroma. I use the home made spray because the commercial ones are soooo expensive. (Like $40). I mixed up some a few days ago: eggs, a little milk, whole dried chili peppers, lots of garlic powder and water. Put some vegetable oil in it to help it stick to leaves. I process it in my Vitamix blender, but still have to strain it because your pump sprayer will clog. It works well. After it dries, like bethnorcal says, you cannot smell it. The deer have been browsing on my hosta, clematis vine, and roses. It is horrible- I am torn because they all have babies right now and are really hungry. But we work too hard in our yard to have it all eaten in a few days. I am truly sorry about your DA buds. Hopefully, you can get them sprayed and they will re grow new buds for you....See Moreoursteelers 8B PNW
