Deer are lovely, docile creatures. However, you might not always want them to eat the greenery you've worked so hard to grow. Deer-resistant shrubs are the solution. You'll have healthier plants and intact landscaping for a reliably beautiful yard.
TN Nursery hand-selects our collection of shrubs and plants, affording you options that are as appealing as they are effective.
Why Do Deer Resistant Shrubs Work?
To you, a shrub designed to keep deer away might not look that different from any other. What traits do they possess that keep deer at bay?
- Physical barrier: Some shrubs grow tall enough that deer can't cross the threshold even if they want to, especially if you select a barrier of shrubs around your garden.
- Foliage: Exterior thorns on shrubs make trespassing a prickly experience for deer. They'll learn to stay away, keeping your yard more harmonious.
- Unpleasant tastes: Deer typically invade your garden to feast on the plants and flowers. Resistant shrubs taste bad, giving deer incentive to go find their next meal elsewhere.
- Overpowering aromas: What might smell pleasant to us can be too strong for a deer, allowing shrubs to naturally ward off the garden invaders.
More Benefits of Resistant Shrubs
Shrubs from the butterfly bush to forsythia, pink spirea, and black haw viburnum are useful for more than keeping deer away. They also possess these benefits:
- Easy to care for: Generally low-maintenance and capable of handling many conditions, you can keep your garden safe even if you forget to water the shrubs for a few days or go a little too long without pruning.
- Invites more wildlife: Your days with fewer deer won't mean having no living creatures around. From insects to wildlife like birds, you can experience greater biodiversity and a more appealing backyard.
- Stops erosion: Strategically planted shrubs can control heavy rates of soil erosion due to a shrub's mass root system. The soil around the shrubs is stable, keeping it from shifting.
