Pentas are classified as deer-resistant; that means that they are among those plants that deer won't eat unless they get very hungry.

The hole is an inch & half with no leavings around it in on bare ground. Whatever is causing it eats my just planted ground cover (creeping phlox). What should I do to eliminate this problem, please.

we can't seem to make enough urine ourselves to deter the badgers digging our lawn! If we added chlorine to it, could we be more effective? Heather Oliver

The feral cats in the neighborhood have been using my garden area for a litter box and I want to be able to grow edible plants in that soil. Is there a way to make it usable and keep the cats out?
Yes, the soil should be removed and replaced for your safety.
