I'm not sure yet. I've been looking at the ASWP recommendations, and trying to figure out what would work in our space plus be deer resistant (they do have a sheet of deer resistant plants) and then figure out where /what/ when to get. I do want milkweed and bee balm.

I have both.

I also have the worst deer problem in all of Allegheny County.

I have five species of Milkweed. Deer leave all that alone.

I have Scarlet Bee Balm. Deer eat the flower heads off.

In my experience, deer have not touched my Yarrow, Wingstem, Boneset, Ironweed, Goldenrod, and Blue Vervain.
