Best Deer Resistant
Landscape Plants
Which landscape plants do deer avoid? This is the question that
we have attempted to answer. First, we collected deer resistant
plant lists from across the Midwest - over 40 lists were collected.
From this information, we pulled the plants that were consistently
listed as deer-resistant. Our compiled list was sent to over 400
nurserymen, educators, naturalists and garden enthusiasts asking
whether or not they found any of the plants to be left alone by
deer.
From the return responses, we compiled the following list, which
represents the top picks of good landscape plants that are resistant
or minimally damaged by deer.
*Note: Using plants in this list does not guarantee
against deer damage. Deer populations and deer taste preferences
are variable, and if you have large herds, you will more than
likely experience deer damage. |
