There are many plants that are resistant to deer. Any plant that is frgrant, spiny, the deer just simply will not eat it. I have found a website that suggest plants you can plant that are deer resistant.



Some shrubs they dislike are glossy abelia, acuba, lantana, pampas grass are in the list. And plus these look very nice.



Deer do not bother too much Hollys:

These are Hollys that i would recommend:

ILEX CORNUTA

ILEX Vomitoria.



Staright form the list are Flowers:



Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.) (flowers eaten)

Coreopsis (Coreopsis spp.)

Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)

Dusty Miller (Senecio cineraria)

Flame Acanthus (Anisacanthus wrightii)

Foxglove (Digitalis spp.)

Holly Fern (Cyrtomium falicatum)

Indigo Spires (Salvia spp.)

Iris (Iris spp.)

Mealy Blue Sage (Salvia farinacea)

Mexican Bush Sage (Salvia leucanthia)

Mexican Mint Marigold (Tagetes spp.)

Periwinkle (Vinca rosea)1

Purple Cone Flower (Echinacea angustifolia)2 3

Savory (Satureia spp.)

Reply:Plants that are toxic to man are a deer proof, oleander for one, hollyhock's..and usually plants that have a grey cast to them, saliva etc. Deer are hard to fool and all of the dried lion poop, human hair, and zest soap does not do the trick. They once scaled a 8' fence to taste my roses..good luck

Check out the web site listed below, it has tons of ideas..
Reply:Deer tried to eat the silk flowers in a wreath on my front door. Our deer will eat anything if they are hungry enough. I have had them eat the blossoms on the daffodils and cleome, both of which they are not suppose to eat!
Reply:Plastic ones they look fresh every day no watering no worrys and they will look the same next year too that what I did living on a farm in NC mine are 3 years old still look great and the deers move on
