Deer Resistant Plants – Grow a Garden Without the Worry

Few things are more frustrating than nurturing your garden only to find it nibbled down overnight. If deer are a regular visitor to your yard, selecting the right plants can make all the difference. Our collection of deer-resistant plants features reliable options that deer tend to avoid, so your blooms and foliage stay intact.

These aren’t just tough plants—they’re beautiful too. We’ve hand-selected a variety of flowers, shrubs, and perennials that add color, texture, and structure to your garden while naturally deterring deer. Whether you’re working with full sun, deep shade, or something in between, you’ll find plants here that suit your space and hold their ground.

Popular Deer Resistant Varieties:

Black Cohosh

Tall and elegant, with fragrant white flower spikes.

Bee Balm

Why TN Nursery?

Our deer resistant plants aren’t chemically treated or altered; they naturally offer qualities that make them less appealing to browsing wildlife.

Browse our full selection of deer resistant plants and build a garden that’s both beautiful and protected—without sacrificing color, fragrance, or charm.

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.
