Thirteen Deer Resistant Plants
Thirteen Deer Resistant Plants
By Annie B. Bond, author of Home Enlightenment (Rodale Press, 2005).
Simple Solution
A challenge many of face is making pretty flower pots, planters, and gardens from which the deer won't eat the flowers. Deer have a wide range of plants in their diet, but there are a few that they stay away from unless the plant is outside in the middle of a brutally cold winter.
Here are 13 plants you can quite safely depend on the flowers not being eaten by the deer; I’ve tried most of them and they have been safe, a testament because three or four deer come by my house on most days:
Bleeding heart
Boxwood
Coneflower (Echinacea)
Holly
Iris
Marigold
Nasturtium
Northern red oak
Snapdragon
Spruce
Strawflower
Yucca
Zinnia
