Do DEER eat hydrangeas? The reliable, EASY, deer-PROOF, compact BLOOMING shrub I'm planting instead.
Fall is the perfect time to rearrange the garden if you have spots that are challenging to maintain. The soil is still nice and warm while the temperatures are mild -- this is the PERFECT time to plant/transplant.
In my case, the deer have won the battle with my panicle hydrangeas up front. When I first planted out the garden bed up front, the deer weren't brave enough to come to my yard. They've since gotten much braver now that I have planted them an all you can eat buffet -- and they have thoroughly enjoyed it. In an effort to make my garden easier to maintain; I'm going to replace the hydrangeas with something that is deer resistant, evergreen, compact and blooming.
I've grown AND talked about this particular shrub for years -- because it's a beautiful, no maintenance, shrub that makes gardening easy -- so when reached out and asked if I could use a few more in the garden -- I jumped at the opportunity.

I’m on a mission to help make gardening easier and more accessible through sharing easy to understand garden content on social media and YouTube. I’ve been gardening for over a decade and am here to share what I’ve learned from all the plants I’ve previously killed — so maybe you can skip that phase. I live and garden in Atlanta, Georgia — so most of the content I share will be most relevant to gardeners in the southeast. I know gardeners are making the world a better place, so let’s get growing together.
