Deer Resistance: This plant is supposed to be resistant to deer, but in some areas where deer have had to adapt to a more rural setting, it’s possible the plant will be disturbed. If deer are a problem in your area, try mixing plants in an English-garden style where plants that are known to be deer resistant are growing along side those that are less resistant to deer and other wildlife.
Pollinators: All of them! This plant is so attractive to pollinators including bees and butterflies.
Drought Tolerant: Yes
Cut & Come Again: Yes! If cut for the vase or pruned for the garden, this plant will keep coming back until frost. It is so prolific.
Other Comments:The foliage on this plant smells like anise/licorice! It is a lovely up-right flower to add to an arrangement, creating a fresh from the garden look. It’s also pretty in a vase by itself.
