Northern WI--they EAT EVERYTHING. Only solution is high fencing (and be sure it is VERY sturdy by late winter). Nothing and I mean NOTHING stops them. Boy was I fooled at the garden center "these are very deer resistant" or "will be poisonous, toxic, belly aches", etc.--and the deer ran up to them like candy with no visible bad effects. Ate everything RIGHT WHEN flowing too, which was ultra depressing! No sprays, no spices, no commercial stuff-NOTHING STOPS THEM.
