Deer-Resistant Landscape

Perennials

• No landscape would be complete without the color and texture of perennials. Deer-resistant species include autumn sage (Salvia greggii), Copper Canyon daisy (Tagetes lemonii), goldmoss sedum (Sedum acre), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), lantana (Lantana spp.), tickseed (Coreopsis verticillata) and yarrow (Achillea spp.).

Shrubs

• Shrubs can provide privacy, reduce noise, partition your landscape and deter deer. Deer-resistant shrubs include bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), bush germander (Teucrium fruiticans), Japanese yew (Podocarpus macrophyllus), littleleaf boxwood (Buxus microphylla), oleander (Nerium oleander) and thryallis (Galphimia glauca).

Trees

• Trees add height and wind breaks to your landscape. Choose deer-resistant species such as American holly (Ilex opaca), bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parviflora), juniper (Juniperus chinensis), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), pitch pine (Pinus rigida), shadbush (Amelanchier canadensis) and white spruce (Picea glauca).
