This is the only perennial still standing in our flowerbed. (Well, that and the random Oregano plant in the flowerbed.) We planted it this summer, and everything else---I think there's a Black-Eyed Susan, and maybe a Shasta Daisy with a few hostas--has been eaten pretty much down to the ground (hard tell when they're mere shadows of their former selves...). We did get three or four flowers off of the Black-Eyed Susan, but sheesh.
So yes, I definitely want one maybe two more 'Autumn Joy' sedums.
And does anyone else know what's deer-proof? Or even deer-resistant??
I love the star pattern here with the pink and white against a green background. Just lovely. Wonder why the deer don't like them? No deer where I live (in matchbox lot suburbia), but there is a family of racoons that trek my fence every night to eat my neighbors figs. They had so many figs to eat, and thankfully ignored my garden 5 feet away.
ReplyDeleteOh they're beautiful. Maybe they don't like the texture...or perhaps they have an odor...I think that's why the deer are avoiding the oregano.
ReplyDeleteOh raccoons can be terrible--they've eaten tomatoes and corn from the veggie garden in my parent's backyard before. You're lucky they didn't find yours!
