Keep deer out of the garden with deer-resistant plants and Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/h2>\n\n\n

You work on planting your favorite flowers and plants, only to have some hungry deer ruin all your hard work. By planting deer-resistant plants, you can save your garden. The plants are unappetizing for the pesky creatures, meaning you can enjoy blooming flowers all season long. Learn about some common deer-resistant plants with Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Makes Plants Deer-Resistant?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Deer can be deterred from plants for a few reasons. They tend to stay away from poisonous plants, such as foxgloves, poppies and daffodils. Deer also stay away from plants with a strong fragrance. This includes flowers like peonies, bearded irises and lavenders, as well as herbs like sage and mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really all comes down to the deer’s taste and their appetite. Drought and scarcity of natural food sources can also bring a deer to your garden. By planting deer-resistant plants, you can hopefully keep the hungry creatures away. Below are some of the common deer-resistant plants used in a variety of regions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Of course, deer-resistant does not mean deer-proof. While these plants commonly deter deer, it doesn’t mean every deer will steer clear. Putting up deer-proof fencing<\/a> is the best way to keep them out of the garden completely. There’s also deer repellent<\/a> available–just make sure it’s safe to use if you’re growing edibles.
