Plants Deer Don't Prefer

3/1/2021

 

Kiawah and Seabrook Island gardeners, take note!

Picture
As beautiful as nature and wildlife can be, it is certainly discouraging to have your newly planted landscape nibbled on - or worse, devoured - by deer. Deer damage has become increasingly troubling in our Kiawah and Seabrook Island communities where deer are eating landscape plants that had previously been of no interest to them.

The good news? There are trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, and palms we've used in landscape designs on Kiawah and Seabrook Island that seem to remain off of the dinner menu for foraging deer. We've compiled the following list for your reference:

If you are looking to deter deer in an established landscape or would like to expand your planting palette, we offer an all-natural, liquid deer repellant at our Garden Center in both ready to use and concentrated forms. Deer Stopper™ is safe to use around edibles and in areas frequented by children and pets. Applications last approximately 30 days and are not washed off after heavy rainfall.

For advice on choosing deer non-preferred plants, creating attractive landscapes that deer avoid, or protecting your existing plants from grazing deer, visit our Garden Center to speak with one of our Nursery Professionals. We are here to assist!
