Lavendar is supposed to repel deer and elk. We planted it in our yard hoping the elk would stay further away from our trees, I could smell it 50' away and it stunk to me...They ate them down to the nubs. Then we heard that RedHot Pokers were deer /elk resistant and they were until winter and the elk ate then down to the nubs.
