Are Lophospermum (Lofos) Deer Or Rabbit Resisant?

Question

I had one of these plants a few summers ago here in Wisconsin and it did great in an urn on our deck. I would like to plant one by a chain link fence but won’t do so if it’s just going to get eaten off by the deer or rabbits. Thank you

Answer 1

It's not hardy in your area, so you could plant it in a container by the fence and move it inside during the winter. It wouldn't help with deer, but rabbits would have trouble reaching it.

I didn't find any lists that included lofos as deer or rabbit resistant, but those lists usually include the most common plants. And even if it were included on a list, hungry deer will eat about anything.
