I have shrimp plants growing beside the house in an unfenced area and deer have never touched it.

As you know there are many colors. I like them all, but my favorite is the yellow which Jim passed along because it is always covered in blooms and takes full sun. He thought the variety name was 'Lemon sorbet'.

I found a couple of pictures. The first was taken last year, the second this year ...

Lemon sorbet, we think.

Good to hear the deer have not bothered your shrimp plants, Roselee. I have a red shrimp and a variegated shrimp plant, but they are in protected areas, so deer munching has not been a problem. Since it appears that deer may not be interested in them, I think I will try them in that bed. I have looked at the Lemon Sorbet variety and I think it's really pretty, so tomorrow I will go "shrimp plant shopping". Thanks.

Oh, by the way, those photos are stunning, Roselee. Your garden is always beautful. What in the world do you feed your shrimp plants?

Molly

For the most part, the deer leave them alone, but one year they must have been hungry because they munched them down to the ground.

Just an update....I found and purchased two Lemon Sorbet shrimp plants in one gallon containers! Thanks for all of the input.

Wonderful! I think you're gonna' love it ... :-)
