Deer Resistant Perennial Flowers

These deer resistant perennial flowers are not foolproof but they’re the best options we have.

I think we should get the bad news out of the way first when it comes to deer resistant perennial flowers.

And that is a hungry deer will eat anything. (So would you if you were hungry enough) 🙂 The so-so news is that what works in my area and the deer won’t eat turns out to be the most favourite food in your area. Silly deer are no more consistent than people are.

hungry deer will eat even deer resistant perennial flowers

The good news, however, is that we can sort through all the lists and articles, from one end of the continent to the other, to pick the plants that are commonly not eaten by deer. In other words, the plants on these two lists are your best bets. But (see above) a hungry deer will eat them too.
