Deer Ate My Pansies (Zone 8). Will They Grow Back & Bloom Before Winter?

Question

I’m wondering if I should replant them (and of course, cover them with the garden mesh/netting) or if the stubs the deer left behind will grow back and bloom before winter kicks in.

Answer 1

It really depends on how far down they ate them and what your weather is like (colder weather will mean slower growth).

I personally would go ahead and replace them, just to make sure I get blooms in time.
