Deer can be a real menace, especially when they’re treating your garden like an all you can eat buffet. While there are plenty of repellants that can keep the deer away, it can be more beneficial for you and your time to plant deer resistant plants to curb their appetites.
In general, deer tend to avoid plants with strong fragrances. Marigolds, Daffodils Rosemary and Daphne are all very fragrant plants that deer tend to steer clear of.
Below is a list of some of the more popular varieties of deer resistant plants we carry, however all varieties listed may not be available at all times. Also, please be aware that while these plants are deer resistant, they are not deer proof. A hungry enough deer will eat just about anything.
