10 Plants Deer Won’t Eat: Maybe

When deer are hungry enough, all bets are off. They’ll eat practically anything then… including the fake geraniums you’ve stuck in the window box. But in normal situations, here are 10 plants they usually let alone…

1.) Daffodils. Spring-blooming bulbs, mostly in gold, white and apricot pastels. Sun or part shade.

2.) Ornamental grasses. Upright bladed perennials with plumes or late-summer seed heads. Sun to part shade.

3.) Lavender. Fragrant, purple-blooming herb with silvery-green foliage. Full sun.

4.) Junipers. Needled evergreens. Some spread, some grow up, some spray out. Full sun.

5.) Summersweet (Clethra). Summer-flowering shrub with white or pink bottle-brush flowers. Shade to part shade.

6.) Russian sage. Upright herb with purple spiky flowers and silvery foliage. Full sun.

7.) Hardy geraniums. Low, spreading perennials with purple, pink, blue or white flowers. Sun to part shade.

8.) Catmint. Blue- or pink-blooming fragrant herb with silvery leaves. Full sun.

9.) Spirea. Rounded shrub with rose, pink or white late-spring flowers. Sun to part shade.

10.) Sedum. Succulent perennial with rose on pink late-summer flowers. Full sun.
