I have also had deer eat Juno iris foliage, but it did not kill the
plants. Most geophytes can recover from being grazed during one
growing season. I hope Tecophilaea can, because rabbits just ate all mine.
The only way to keep deer out of the garden is to put up an 8-foot
fence with a closed gate, or a lower fence with a predatory large dog
in it all night.
