A neighbor and I planted some Daffs in a raised(full sun)bed last fall and most of them came up and have been blooming nicely in spite of late cold temps and snow cover. I've been trying to think of something to plant around them to help disguise the dying foliage and also some thing that is not so attractive to deer. The deer here will step up into the bed and look for something to snack on and fencing is not an option. The bunnies don't bother jumping up into the bed so we don't usually worry about them. Would Dianthus get too thick? How about Cerastium(snow-in-summer)?

Here is the bed in April before the Daffs came up. They are in the two square patches in front, about 4'x 4' each. I have herbs along the sides and usually plant annuals along the front. The back part of the bed is for veggies.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
