My guess it they are likely to still bloom this year - unless the deer chomp them again!

Been there, done that! Yes, the deer have gotten to my Purple Dome in the past, and they still bloomed. I don't remember exactly what time of year it was that they dined, but deer usually pester me twice - once in the very early spring, and then again around the time the daylilies bloom, which is now. I'm guessing that deer damage was this time of year, since I wouldn't have been as upset in the early spring. So hopefully you're good!

"...unless the deer chomp them again!"

I sprayed them down with Animal Stopper since then -- hopefully that will be enough to deter them. Made a note to myself to be sure to get the tree trunk guards up in early August this year before the velvet rubbing starts up again...

^^ Gorgeous color!

Never be able to grow asters, the rabbits are just drawn to them.

me too. Never got one to full height. Rabbits kept them to about 3 inches. I have had good luck keeping rabbits away from young plants by using Rabbit Scram before the varmits get even one nibble. Once they know where a favorite food is, they go after it as soon as a leaf is up in spring. Then they teach their first litter
