Deer Ate My Impatiens?

[RandomGemini]

I have no wish to harm the local wildlife, but this is so frustrating!!!

We have a small group of does that have moved into the neighborhood. Shooting is prohibited here and I think they have figured out that they are safe with their fawns here. We have a long tradition of stopping to let the local wildlife cross the street, including a group of wild turkeys. People stop even during morning rush hour and I think a neighbor may even put out feed for the deer. I don't mind them, really except for this:



Something ate my impatiens!!

Is there an annual that does well in shaded containers that the deer won't eat? I just want something that maybe smells bad to them or is unappetizing.

Thanks!
