I have (HAD) a gorgeous red one and a multicolored one - both have been eaten down to the ground by deer, repeatedly. I'm not sure why this site indicates that it is deer resistant - more like deer attractant. If you get one and have deer come into your yard, be sure to protect your columbine with some netting or something. It IS gorgeous, when not eaten to the ground.
