[quote="flukybloom"]The deer were kind and generous and deadheaded all of my daylilies...before they bloomed
this is the first time I've experienced deer like this, the even ate the leaves to the ground at the beginning of the year. Will more buds form or are they done for the year? Don't know if it'll make a big difference but I'll be relocating all the daylilies to a border garden out front eventually.
Got this one at least!

Oh no. You have my condolences. That happened to me last year. The plants were budding out and even had a few flowers. Walked out one morning and they were just gone. Was a real shock. Luckly they didn't eat any folage, just flowers and buds.
As soon as I saw scapes this year I started spraying with Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit Repellant. I had also planted some chives in the front of the bed and got one of those motion activated sprayer. So far so good. But I have other unprotected daylily beds and no issue with them either. Maybe the deer aren't as hungry this year.
I've not seen the Bobbex brand in stores here here. I'll look for it. It would be cheaper if I could buy a concentrate and mix it myself, I think.
