Deer Resistant Plants

Deer Resistant Plants
The plants on this list are seldom eaten or damaged beyond repair by
deer. When deer are given a choice, they will usually opt for an alternative to the plants listed here. Examples would be Hostas or Tulips,
which taste like candy to a deer and almost always eaten when deer are
present. Unlike Hostas or Tulips, the plants listed here are usually not
their first choice. Remember however, when extremely hungry, deer
will eat almost anything.
