Lucy Rose of Sharon

Hi Kip,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with your Lucy Rose of Sharon! We’re delighted to hear that it holds up well against deer, especially compared to your hostas. It’s great that your Lucy gets just a few nibbles instead of serious damage—that’s actually quite common since they are somewhat deer resistant but not completely deer-proof.

If you’re looking to bolster your plant’s protection, you might consider placing natural deterrents nearby—things like strong-scented herbs (lavender, rosemary, or thyme) or commercial deer repellents can often help tip the balance in your favor. Also, applying a deer repellent spray before the nibbling season starts can be quite effective. We’re happy to provide more tips tailored to your area and garden conditions if you’d like!

Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for sharing your gardening journey with us. Your insights are very helpful for other garden enthusiasts too.

Wishing you happy planting,

Hi Kip,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Lucy Rose of Sharon! We’re glad to hear it’s mostly left alone by deer—that’s definitely one of the traits that makes it a great choice for gardens challenged by these nibblers. It’s completely normal to get a few bites here and there, especially if deer are hungry, but it sounds like your plant is holding up well compared to your hostas.

If you’d like to add even more protection, consider using natural deterrents such as deer-repellent sprays, or planting some strongly scented herbs nearby that deer tend to avoid—like lavender or rosemary. Setting up motion-activated sprinklers or bars may also reduce unwanted visits without harming the plants or animals.

We’re excited to know your Lucy Rose of Sharon is a nice addition to your garden! Feel free to reach out if you want any more tips or assistance.
