Are Anemones deer resistant? Specificately the Windflower.

Question

Just received a new plant for my birthday and need to know if it should be protected from our deer who seem to like everything.

Answer 1

Windflower is safe from deer in my experience. However, you know what they say: hungry deer will try anything. Bunnies seem to leave it alone as well. It will gently self-sow, sometimes several feet from the parent plant and patches can be divided if desired. The tuber/bulb is knobby. You don't need to worry about which side is up. Plant them 2-3 inches down. Nice gift!
