Day three and my plants are still unharmed! Nothing else has worked this long. Although I won't be able to call it a success unless it's able to save the plants next summer when the deer are at their most diabolical, it seems to be working pretty well so far. :)

Here's a Coreopsis gigantea the deer pulled up, tossed around, and ate almost down to the roots maybe four or five weeks ago? I had little hope for the plant when I put it back in the ground, but surprisingly, the wounds have been scarring over and the stump has remained green. I have my fingers crossed the plant will send out a side shoot and pull through!
