phillipsbrian+FollowDeer Love Azaleas—And That’s a ProblemThinking about planting azaleas for those gorgeous blooms? You might want to rethink if deer are regulars in your yard. Turns out, azaleas are basically a salad bar for deer, and once they find them, they’ll keep coming back for more—damaging your plants and possibly bringing ticks with them. If you’re set on azaleas, try moving them closer to your house, use motion-activated sprinklers, or let your dog patrol at dawn and dusk. Or, swap them for deer-resistant shrubs! #Home #gardeningtips #deerproof10Share
John Fitzgerald+FollowWhy Deer Love Your Azaleas (Oops!)Thinking about planting azaleas for those gorgeous blooms? Heads up: deer are obsessed with them! If you’ve got deer in your area, these pretty bushes are basically an all-you-can-eat buffet. Want your garden to stay lush? Try peonies, lilacs, or lavender instead—deer usually pass them by. But if you’re set on azaleas, you’ll need fences or repellent to keep those hungry visitors away. Your future self (and your garden) will thank you! #GardeningTips #DeerProof #Azaleas #Home300Share
