Catmint
You may have seen this purple flower around fields before, but what you were not privy to is the fact that it can actually keep deer away from your property! Catmint is a sturdy perennial plant that is going to live in your garden for years if you plant it correctly and care for it.
It is easy to spot with its signature purple flowers and silver-green leaves that have a fuzzy texture to them. Catmint has a very distinct mint and quite spicey fragrance that bothered most deer, so they are known to keep away from these flowers. So if you are in the market for a new perennial plant to add to your rooster and Bambi keeps eating your plants, consider catmint as a great choice!
And do not worry! According to its name, catmint does not have the same effect as catnip on cats. It is similar to it, but you do not have to worry about your cat or their neighborhood cats coming to your garden for their daily dose of stimulation!
