In an area infested with deer, it is so nice that they never touch irises or peonies which bloom at the same time each spring here in Georgia. Iris 'Daughter of Stars' is the only iris I've grown that reliably lives up to its "rebloomer" status. Pictured here with Peony 'Paula Faye'.

Clematis armandii 'Apple Blossom' is an evergreen clematis vine with vanilla-scented blooms in early spring. The vine attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Climbs 20-25 feet. And because it has poisonous characteristics, the deer will leave it alone!

Planning a deer-proof perennial meadow garden for a client that's loaded with pollinator plants. The bed will be supplemented with summer and winter annuals throughout the year to keep it colorful and attractive to pollinators.
