[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. Just dug it all up. I had bought it as a recommendation from here a couple of years ago and was told as long as it was in a pot it was fine. But it keeps making babies in the adjacent bed and pot.  And in the pot it never got as bushy and pretty as I had imagined. It's gone now. Replaced with milkweed! [/quote]

I think many of us are changing the way we garden just like you are. I went from gardening for pure beauty/ornamentals to gardening “for butterflies” to now trying to garden for ecosystem services (and making it beautiful). I had butterfly bush, too. Just today I bought and planted a native hydrangea, a swamp milkweed for my tiny pond, and some goldenrods.[/quote]

Any recommendations for a native hydrangea that is deer resistant?[/quote]

I don’t have deer, but from what I understand hydrangea is not high on their list to eat, but they’ll eat it if they don’t have anything else. Hydrangeas are super tough plants, though, so they will come back if they get munched. I don’t think one variety will be more or less tasty than another.[/quote]
