Unwanted visitors can be the bane of many gardeners. If you have tried and failed so far to keep cats, dogs, and other small mammals out of your garden, the Coleus canina plant may provide an answer worth experimenting with.
Coleus canina produces a strong and unpleasant smell that is known to deter animals, yet offers attractive foliage and flowers in the backyard. It may be one of the best pest-repelling plants as it is very low-maintenance and can thrive in the ground or in containers.
