What plants are deer resistant?

Landscaping with plants that are deer resistant can be difficult because no plant is entirely deer resistant. However, there are plants that are less attractive to deer than others. Whether or not certain plants will be eaten by deer depends on several factors including weather conditions, plant palatability, seasonal factors, availability of alternate foods, nutritional needs and deer population.

Rarely to Seldom Damaged Trees and Shrubs

This means that they are not preferred by deer and any damage is usually minor and does not affect overall shape and attractiveness of the plant.
