  • Protecting the Winecups with Chicken Wire Cloche Plant Covers and boldworks Garden Cloches allowing them to mature. Growth allows the development of a rough, hairy leaf texture that deer will find less palatable. While this doesn't guarantee protection from a hungry deer, we're testing this method to see if Winecups can thrive in areas with deer access.
