Will Nepeta nervosa discourage deer?

8 years ago

I've read that deer don't like catmint because of the smell (it gets on their legs & they can't smell predators), but I wanted a pink-flowering plant, so "Pink Cat" sounded ideal. Then I read that Nepeta nervosa (which "Pink Cat *is*) is scentless. If that's true, I'm not so sure it'd work as a deer repellent. Can anyone comment on this from experience with the plant (& preferably with deer :)? I've only read about it online.


Thanks!
