Deer-Resistant Flowers

About

Deer Resistant Plants and Flowers Deer-resistant plants make beautiful and hardy additions to pest-prone gardens and landscapes. Gardeners in rural and semi-rural areas often have to deal with animals invading their gardens. Squirrels dig up bulbs, rabbits eat vegetables, and deer nibble almost everything. Luckily, we have a wide selection of flowering deer-resistant plants. While no flowers are 100% deer proof, choosing deer resistant flowers and deer resistant perennials greatly reduces browsing. What Flowers Do Deer Not Eat? No plant is never eaten in all conditions, but daffodils, alliums and many aromatic herbs are rarely browsed. The plants most resistant to browsing deer are those with inedible foliage or highly aromatic flowers. In other words, if you’re wondering what flowers do deer not eat, look for strong scents, toxicity, or tough textures. Luckily, there is enough variety among these types that you can find deer-resistant flowering plants suitable for every hardiness zone from 3 to 10 and every sun exposure. There are also plenty of choices in heights, colors and bloom times. Although there are no flowers that deer never eat in every situation, the least attractive to deer tend to be fuzzy, prickly, leathery, or highly fragrant options, which are ideal as perennial deer resistant plants. What Deer-Resistant Flowers Should be Planted Each Season? Deer are especially hungry in the spring, so consider filling your spring garden with deer-resistant Dutch bulbs like hyacinth , daffodils and irises . For the summer, choose plants with feathery foliage and less appetizing blossoms such as poppies, begonias , astilbe, and a variety of coneflowers. Feathery or ruffled flowers also seem to repel deer, so consider plants like queen of the prairie, goatsbeard and sea holly. Prevent deer from grazing in your fall garden with a mix of beautiful dahlias , toad lilies and hyssops. These deer resistant flowers and deer resistant perennials provide color across the seas
