DEER-RESISTANT NATIVE PLANTS
Wildflowers

Shrubs/Groundcovers •
Trees
There
are few deer-proof plants. Many factors influence
the extent of feeding by deer; the number of deer in the
area, the availability of other food sources, winter
weather conditions and plant preferences. Deer may
have different tastes depending on the area, and may eat
young plants while leaving older ones alone.
Native plants co-evolved with deer and are often better
able to withstand deer browsing, if they are eaten at
all. Protective barriers may be needed when plants
are young.
