Deer-Leerious TM Plants
"Plants deer don't like to eat" - Here’s how the program works!

Deer are not so cute when they’re eating your garden. They surely have a place, but using your plants as their dinner table is not one of them. Deer-Leerious TM  plants have been chosen based on research, reference guides and experience from gardeners throughout the country, as plants deer don’t like to eat.

We have divided these deer-unfriendly plants into three categories to make plant selection more sensible.

  • First select Sun or Shade
  • Then look to see the deer rating for the Deer-Leerious TM  plants you want in your garden.

#1,”Not Eatin’ This!” - Highest deer resistance

You can be highly confident that deer will not eat this plant, unless they are starving.

Place in Sunny Area or Place in Shady Area.

 

#2, “Can’t Stand This!” - High Deer resistance, when highly stressed they may nibble.

You can be strongly confident that deer will not eat this - they are simply not interested.

Place in Sunny Area or Place in Shady Area.


#3,“Not Likin’ This!” - Medium to High deer resistance, If hungry deer may nibble.

You can be confident that deer do not like this plant - they will almost always pass it by.

Place in Sunny Area or Place in Shady Area.
