So people ask all the time, what plants won’t deer eat?
Deer headed toward my hosta
Short answer: none. If they’re hungry they’ll eat it. However, there are plants they don’t find as delectable.
Those are Coneflowers, Columbine, Yarrow and Sage. In the shade, deer leave old-fashioned Bleeding Hearts, Lenten Rose, Lily of the Valley alone. For sunny areas, plant beebalm, foxglove, barberry and heliopsis.
Think plants that are prickly like juniper, poisonous like foxglove, thorny like barberry. The same plants that tell us to stay away, tell the deer to back off.
