Deer Resistant Plant Seeds – Flowers & Herbs Deer Tend to Avoid

Deer Resistant Plant Seeds – Protect Your Garden Naturally

We love to see deer in nature — just not nibbling on our garden beds. This collection features flowers and herbs that are known for their deer-resistant qualities, making them a smart choice for gardeners in rural or semi-rural areas.

These varieties are selected based on gardener feedback, plant structure, scent, and natural deterrents that make them less appealing to browsing deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these are among the best options for helping your garden thrive without becoming a midnight buffet.

Why Choose Deer-Resistant Seeds?

  • Reduces damage from foraging deer
  • Includes tried-and-true varieties like yarrow, zinnia, and cosmos
  • Ideal for cottage gardens, rural properties, and perimeter planting
  • Many attract pollinators while discouraging deer

Pro Tip: For added protection, consider interplanting deer-resistant varieties with more vulnerable plants to help mask scent and deter browsing.
