Deer Resistant Plants

Recipe
Written By Kris Graham

Dealing with deer is a challenge. Rather than try to keep them away from your hostas and hydrangeas, we suggest planting shrubs and perennials that they don’t want to eat in the first place.

Remember - deer will eat anything if they are hungry enough! That is why we call these plants “deer resistant” rather than “deer proof.”

This list is not exhaustive, nor is it guaranteed.
