Growth happens pretty fast in the spring. Before you know it, everything is leafed out and getting ready to bloom. If you live in an area where deer treat your garden more like a snack bar than the botanical paradise you’ve worked so hard to create, now is the time to protect your tulips! It’s a huge mistake to wait if your plants are just leafing out or breaking ground if you garden in an area with high deer pressure. 🌷

In my zone 6b garden, we get herds of deer on our property. And while some of our gardens are fenced in, most are not. So if I want to grow tulips, I’ve got to protect them.🌷

One of the ways I protect them is by using deer repellent. They are very effective if you use them aggressively, consistently, and often, depending on the severity of the issue in your garden. Because growth happens really FAST in spring, it’s important to begin spraying repellent as soon as your tulips break ground and follow up almost weekly until the plant is fully leafed out and blooms.🌷

The reason we need to apply the repellent so aggressively in the beginning is to teach deer they don’t want to snack in your garden. Deer are creatures of habit - they follow the same path so if they find something they love in your garden, they’ll keep coming back! So the idea is to make your plants so unpalatable that they will not love it and choose a different path. 🌷

It’s important to note that no method is foolproof because if deer are hungry enough they will eat anything, but I’ve found great success using certain repellents in addition to choosing deer resistant flowers. And you know me, I’ve got flower gardens all over my landscape. Save and share this with a friend who loves to grow flowers.
