Collection: Deer Resistant

Deer-resistant plants are varieties that browsing deer often pass over because of their fragrance, flavor, texture, or growth habit. Aromatic foliage, prickles, hairs, leathery leaves, and resinous or strongly scented growth can make a plant less appealing. These traits are useful when designing gardens in areas where deer regularly wander through looking for lunch.

No plant is completely deer-proof. Browsing varies by region, season, weather, available food, and the habits of the local herd. Deer may also sample tender new growth even when they ignore a mature plant. Protect new plantings where pressure is high, and use local experience to refine your choices over time.

This collection includes annuals, perennials, grasses, shrubs, and other plants selected for their generally lower appeal to deer. Compare flower color, foliage, mature size, sun, water, and hardiness on each product page, then combine compatible varieties for layered color and texture.
