‘Georgia Blue’ is a versatile plant that can thrive in various conditions. It can tolerate full sun to part shade, making it suitable for a range of garden settings. While it can handle a little drought, providing moderate water and good mulch will help it thrive and maintain its best appearance.
One aspect that gardeners often consider when choosing plants is deer resistance. ‘Georgia Blue’ has shown varying levels of deer resistance in different gardens. In some areas like Jacksonville and the Applegate Valley in the Rogue Valley, it has proven to be deer resistant. However, in other locations such as the Griffin Creek area of Medford, it may not be as successful in deterring deer.
To determine if ‘Georgia Blue’ is deer resistant in your specific garden, it is advisable to try it out first. Every garden is unique, and the behavior of deer can vary depending on factors like proximity to natural habitats and availability of other food sources. By observing the plant’s performance and any signs of deer browsing, you can assess its deer resistance in your particular garden.
Personal experiences with ‘Georgia Blue’ and deer resistance can also provide valuable insights. For example, in my own garden in the Rogue Valley, ‘Georgia Blue’ has shown some level of deer resistance. However, I have noticed that during periods of extreme deer pressure or when there is a scarcity of other food sources, the plant may still be nibbled on by deer.
‘Georgia Blue’ can tolerate full sun to part shade and some drought, but it thrives with moderate water and good mulch. Its deer resistance can vary depending on the specific garden and local deer population. To determine if it is deer resistant in your garden, it is recommended to observe its performance and consider local experiences.
