Deer Resistant Perennials

Deer resistant perennials are one of the smartest investments you can make in a landscape shared with deer. Unlike annuals, perennials come back year after year. So once you find varieties that deer leave alone, you get to enjoy them season after season. These plants rely on strong scents, tough textures, and bitter foliage to stay off the deer's menu.

Our deer resistant perennials are selected for reliable performance and lasting beauty. You'll find varieties with bold blooms, interesting foliage, and long flowering windows. They keep your garden looking great all season long. Because they come back stronger each year, your deer resistant garden gets better with time.
