Douglas Hunt · Answer

I have lived and gardened where deer were a major problem, and have never heard of them taking so much as a nibble from a daffodil.

Sandra Parrill · Answer

No they are toxic and animals won't eat them.

Joanne · Answer

I had daffodils in bloom and deer came by and ate them. Its supposed to be toxic to them, but I guess no one told this group of deer that!!!

Barbara · Answer

Thanks Joanne.

Barbara · Answer

Thank you Sandra. I thought that but wasn't sure.

Barbara · Answer

Thank you Douglas Hunt. They are a major problem here too. They get in the road and are hit and can cause serious injuries.

As far as I know deer does not eat daffodils but I am not sure about this. But if there is any other animal that is destroying your plants then you should install electric fences in your garden. Otherwise you can take information from my blog as well- Fencing to Deter Deer from Straying into Your Backyard. http://blog.californiafenceco.com/fencing-to-deter-deer-from-straying-into-your-backyard/

The deer live in our garden year round. I totaly gave up on tulips for spring and only plant different kinds of daffodils now as they always leave them alone. Toxic to them.

Sensible Gardening and Living · Answer

I meant to add that hellebore are beautiful in the spring and they never eat those either:)

Barbara · Answer

I had not thought of that. Thank you.

Barbara · Answer

Thank you for your suggestion.

Barbara · Answer

I think I have enough suggestions now and thank you all.
