Deer Resistant Plants

While not fool proof, these plants have shown to be highly resistant to deer damage. A good rule of thumb is if the plant has thorns, has a rough texture, or has a constant odor, deer will usually stay away from it. Deer will eat different plants in different places, though, so check with your neighbors to see what they have had success with.
