Description
Wildflower Mix 'Deer Resistant' is a specialized open-pollinated blend of annual and perennial wildflowers chosen for their natural aromatic foliage, bitter taste profiles, or prickly textures that deter browsing deer and rabbits. Growing into a colorful, naturalized meadow display ranging from 12 to 36 inches tall, it features a vibrant succession of blooms including Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan, Poppies, Coreopsis, Sweet Alyssum, and Foxglove. Beyond repelling nuisance wildlife, this low-maintenance mix creates a thriving sanctuary for native bees, butterflies, and beneficial garden pollinators from late spring through autumn frost. Perfect for property borders, rural meadows, sunny hillsides, and low-water landscape plots.
