FAQ

What plant do deer hate the most?

Deer generally avoid plants that have strong scents or fuzzy textures. Lavender, ferns, and yarrow are some of the plants that deer dislike the most. These durable, easy-to-grow options naturally deter deer while enhancing the color and texture of the garden.

What are the best deer-resistant perennials?

The best deer-resistant perennials include ferns, yarrow, and coneflowers, all known for their resilience and beauty. These plants have scents or textures that naturally discourage deer from feeding. They’re easy to grow, long-blooming, and perfect for adding lasting color to any landscape.

Are there any flowers that deer and rabbits won't eat?

Yes, some flowers are naturally unappealing to both deer and rabbits. Lavender, yarrow, and coneflowers are excellent choices because of their scent and texture. These hardy, easy-to-grow plants keep nature at bay while adding looks and color to your garden.
