Are there any plants to keep cats and dogs away from my garden?
Answer
Coleus canina, otherwise known as "the Scaredy Cat plant" has a unique scent that cats and dogs do not like so keeps them away from the garden.
Fortunately the smell isn't offensive to humans!
As well as being a great natural cat and dog repellent, Coleus canina has attractive foliage and light blue flowers that make it a generally good garden plant.
Answer
Sometimes, plants with a lemon scent are off-putting to cats, but Coleus canina does seem to produce reasonable results.
