Deer Resistance
Petunias (Petunia spp.), a popular garden annual, are occasionally or frequently browsed by deer. Deer are especially attracted to moist plants, such as petunias, in spring and summer.
Features
Petunias grow from 6 to 36 inches tall. Plants can grow as trailing ground cover or as hedges. Petunias produce flowers from May through October in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, red, white and yellow.
Cultivation
Plant petunias in full sun and well-drained, moist soil. Avoid heavy soil, as this can affect blooming. Petunias are susceptible to gray mold, aphid infestation and slug damage. Pinch plants at the end of the season to help plants keep blooming.
