I was recently asked which plants might not be tasty snacks for the deer.
Few plants are completely deer resistant. Deer tend to avoid plants with aromatic foliage, tough leathery or hairy, prickly leaves and plants with milky latex or sap. Dwarf Hibiscus, Blue Iris and Marsh Ferns are supposed to be deer resistant also. I have heard papyrus is deer resistant and Mexican Butterfly Weed.
