I was looking around on Lazy S's hoping I could get a couple of more Helleborus and the one that has been on my wish list is easy to grow and naturalizes but I did not know it will keep deer out of the garden, they hate the smell and will not go near. Go figure.
>>>>Helleborus foetidus -Aristocrat of the woodland garden. One of the first flowers to bloom and they're a welcome sight. Evergreen leaves prefer a location out of the wind. A VERY RARE collector's plant. All parts POISONOUS. Never move or divide. Protect from wind. We find that wherever we plant these, moles and voles seem to avoid all the plants in the nearby area. The only Hellebore that works as a cut flower and a great one it is. AND not only is it deer resistant but planted amongst your other perennials and allowed to naturalize,
WILL KEEP DEER OUT OF YOUR GARDEN. They won't go anywhere near this plant!<<<<

I do not have deer my self but I still want this plant, It also would be nice to have a few cut flowers in the winter!
