Citysides asked:


I live in Northern NJ and I am trying to plant some flowers. I don’t even know where to start or when to plant certain flowers. I am looking for deer resistant plants, since there are a real pest here. I was thinking about doing daffodils, Irises, pansies (from seed), geraniums, and I had success with ageratums. Any suggestions on other flowers, and when and how would I plant the above listed flowers.

Great place to start, they even have some pre-arranged gardens based on size, zone and if you put “deer resistant” in the search it will give you a good list to choose from.

They wont touch daffodils but you can’t plant those until the fall so they come up next spring. I had pansies in my garden but the deer ate those. They tend to avoid Purple coneflowers and Black Eyed susans, foxglove, yarrow and so many more.

Do a google search on deer resistant plants to get many more ideas. Local nurseries have most perennials for sale now for planting now.
