Deer-Resistant Plants and Flowers for Sale

If you've watched hungry deer wander through your beds and munch on your favorites, you know how frustrating that can be. The good news is that deer tend to avoid plants with strong scents, tough textures, and bitter tastes. There are plenty of gorgeous options that fit that profile at Garden Crossings. 

You’ll find annual flowers, perennial flowers, and garden shrubs with stunning blooms and bold foliage that’ll look beautiful, and deter deer, all season. Looking to attract pollinators? We also have plants like lavender, catmint, Russian sage, and coneflower that are disliked by deer, but loved by pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Explore our plants!

Naturally Deter Deer with Plants

Think of these plants as your first line of defense, not a guarantee. No plant is 100% deer-proof. However, there are those less likely to become their next meal, including: 

  • Rough Textures: Fuzzy, prickly, and leathery leaves feel bad in their mouths.
  • Bitter Parts: Plants with bitter sap are skipped over in favor of flowers like hostas.
  • Strong Aromas: Plants like catmint and lavender are too strong for deer.

There are solutions for every outdoor space in our collection of deer-resistant plants and flowers for sale at Garden Crossings. Find flowers for full sun and shade, different containers, varying design uses, and hardiness zones to naturally deter deer and keep your garden blooming.
