We would like to plant some vines up the four columns of our pergolas. We would like to know: (1) Are the vines wrapped around the columns to the top or just left to grow straight up - have seen both in pictures - don't know if it makes any difference? (2) We live in deer country and have no fences. Are there deer resistant vines that you can recommend? I don't know how they feel about clematis, morning glory or climbing rose vines. If anyone has any recommendations, we would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Are there any good deer resistant vines for pergolas?
Wisteria has been shown to be "resistant" to deer damage. Resistant does not mean "deer-proof" as there is no such thing. If they are hungry enough, usually after a long winter, deer will eat any thing. This spring, there was a doe standing on it's hind legs at our bird feeder!
There is a page on our website that contains info on other deer resistant plants at-
