Spring in the Rockies! Nothing is more welcome than a burst of color after a white, snowy winter.
Unfortunately, deer love to eat tulips! They don’t touch the narcissus (nor do gophers, moles, or voles) because they are poisonous.
We use a liquid deer repellant called Deer Out that’s made from natural ingredients and has a peppermint smell instead of the rotten egg smell of some others. They say it won’t wash off, but I find we have to reapply after rains and at least every two weeks if it’s under irrigation.
