The deer-resistant plant you need for full sun, dramatic height, and non-stop flowers in containers from April through September: Mandevilla!🌸

This tropical vine loves a trellis or a few bamboo stakes zip tied into tripod formation. It’ll climb quickly and give color to the tops of your arrangements!

🚫Remember that nothing is deer “proof,” and while they may not mess with Mandevilla or Dipladenia in my area, your neighborhood deer might be less finicky. It’s always good to experiment before you invest heavily.

Finding the perfect thriller takes time. It sets the tone for everything else in the container, so you want to get it just right.

I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted locally, so I ordered the cutest pair of spiral Dwarf Alberta Spruces from Monrovia instead. They gave me instant height and whimsy…perfect for spring container gardens.

Want a few delivered to your door? Head to Monvrovia.com at the link below. Look under Dwarf Alberta Spruce, then use the size selector to find the spirals.
