Deer and Rabbit Resistant Plants
|
 |
Print this page |
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.
