Have A Lush Garden With Deer Resistant Shrubs
In the quest to establish a lush green garden that is a haven for thriving wildlife and pollinators, selecting the right plants and trees can make a big difference. When looking for different options, you must choose native trees and shrubs, as they are well-adapted to local ecosystems and climate conditions. However, one of the biggest challenges gardeners face when designing their landscape is choosing plants that do not attract deer.
Deer are beautiful wild animals, but let's face it, they can cause some severe damage to your lovely garden. Deer likes to feast on plants, flowers, and fruits usually found in every garden. One night, you will sleep thinking your outdoor space is well protected; the following morning, it will be a mess.
Unfortunately, some of the most popular shrubs, including yews and arborvitae, are deer favorites. So, how do you prevent deer from ruining your yard? The answer is a deer-resistant shrub that allows you to keep those pesky deer at bay.

You can go for vibrant shrubs if you want to add color and texture to your garden. On the other hand, if you prefer the classic lush greenery, we have plenty of deer-resistant shrub options for that as well.
The popular options include Witch Hazel, Burning Bush, and Blue Hydrangea. However, if you are looking for taller shrubs, check out Green Giant Arborvitae, Twilight Crepe Myrtle, and Japenese Hydrangea.

Deer-resistant shrubs are the ideal way to transform your landscape while protecting it against trampling damage and grazing.

Their strong smells and tastes deter nibbling, helping you keep your beds and borders just how you want them.
The deer-resistant shrubs in our collection aren't just practical; they are also aesthetic. The species in our range offer beautiful blooms (if flowering), lush foliage, and minimal upkeep. You can use them for privacy, sectioning off parts of your garden or simply adding them to beds to create more contrast.
Popular choices like Spirea offer colorful blooms, while Witch Hazel, Blue Hydrangea, and Green Giant Arborvitae offer density and maximum deer-repellent action. Some of our deer-resistant bushes are celebrated for their fiery foliage, like Burning Bush, while others are subtle and elegant, like Muskogee Crepe Myrtle with its lavender-pink flowers and smooth cinnamon-colored bark.
For those wanting height, we also offer species like Twilight Crepe Myrtle and Green Giant Arborvitae. These deliver privacy thanks to their sheer density and ability to grow taller as the seasons go by, providing you with even more protection from prying eyes. Those wanting more of a classic touch and appearance should choose Red Weigela and Green Mountain Boxwood. Use these in more formal gardens to recreate traditional landscaping motifs while supporting sustainability by avoiding the use of harsh synthetic repellents.

Easy to Grow
Soak and Hydrate Shrub Roots
To plant bare root shrubs, start by soaking the roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them. While they soak, dig a wide hole that's twice as large as the root spread but only as deep as the roots reach—this prevents settling.
Use Soil From Hole Dug to Plant
Create a mound of soil at the bottom of the hole to support the roots and position the shrub so the crown is just at the soil level mark. Spread the roots evenly over the mound, backfill the hole with native soil, and gently tamp it down to eliminate air pockets.
Water Regularaly Until Acclimated
Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to hold in moisture and regulate temperature. Be sure to keep the soil consistently damp during the establishment period.
Grow Tips For Success
Grow Tips For Shrub Success
Keep the soil around the base evenly moist, especially during the first growing season—this helps the roots settle in and stretch out. Don’t rely on overhead sprinklers; instead, water slowly at the root zone so the moisture soaks deep.
Mulch is a Shrub's Best Friend
it keeps weeds down, locks in moisture, and buffers the roots from temperature swings. Just don’t pile it up against the stem. Look for signs of stress, like yellowing leaves or drooping branches, and adjust your watering as needed. Avoid heavy pruning the first year;
let the plant focus on growing strong roots before shaping it. If it’s a flowering shrub, don’t expect a full show right away—it needs time.
With patience and a bit of attention, your new shrub will take off and reward you season after season.
