Deer & Rabbit Resistant
Plant Guide |
| |
|
|
|
|
No plant
is deer- or rabbit-proof! Garden plants are often browsed by hungry
animals if there is little or no greenery to eat in the surrounding
area. Also, animal likes and dislikes may vary regionally. The plants
listed below are resistant or considered the second or third choice when
dining on plant material. A rule of thumb is that most plants with
fuzzy leaves, a strong odor, a strap leaf or a needle, and drought
tolerant natives fall into the resistant list. |
