Going to try some native plants to attract bees, birds and butterflies.

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.
