Deer Resistant Shrubs are bushes that are rarely or minimally damaged by deer. It is important to note that when deer are hungry they will eat just about any plant, especially tender young growth, buds, and flowers. Deer tend to avoid plants that are strongly fragrant, have thorns, prickly leaves, or needle-like foliage.
