We Give the Earth with every plant

Will the deer eat it?

If we had a dollar for every time a customer asked us this question we'd be quite affluent.  Instead we stock a lot of the following plants because we have a strong feeling our customers will be interested in planting them.  Yes, if deer get hungry enough they'll eat just about anything but they seem to avoid these if given a choice.
