Here are 9 Plants to Send Deer on Their Way!
Heucheras: Known for their stunning foliage and charming spikes of small flowers, Heucheras are not on the deer's favorite menu. Their leathery leaves are unappealing to these grazers.
Butterfly Bushes (Buddleia): Not only do these bushes attract beautiful butterflies, but their strong scent and texture make them unappetizing to deer. They’ll bring life to your garden while keeping it safe.
Monarda (Bee Balm): With its aromatic foliage, Monarda is a double win—deers find it offensive, while bees and hummingbirds absolutely love it. Choose the red Jacob Cline or Grape Gumball !
Salvia: The pungent scent and texture of Salvia deter deer, while its colorful blooms will brighten your garden for months on end.
Veronicas (Speedwell): These hardy perennials offer spiky blooms that resist deer nibbles, giving you carefree beauty.
Coneflowers (Echinacea): Tough and resilient, Coneflowers add a splash of color and resist deer, making them a superb choice.
Dianthus: The spicy scent of Dianthus flowers acts like a natural deer repellent while emitting delightful scents.
Dwarf Plumbago: Its vibrant blue flowers and ground-covering ability make it an excellent deer-resistant choice.
Yarrow (Achillea): With its aromatic leaves, Yarrow is another winner in the deer-repelling department.
