Name some plants that deer will avoid.?

My area is infested with deer. I have Oleander and Vitex that they won't touch but would like more color and variety. All the following have been eaten. Plum tree, marigolds, daisies, Nandina shrubs, and morning glories. And I'm not fond of any cacti.Name some plants that deer will avoid.?

This is an excellent site for finding the ';deer rating'; of a plant:

This is not a plant, but if you go to the beauty shop or barber shop and collect the hair swept off the floor, you can use it as mulch and it keeps the deer away.

If you search ';deerproof plants'; you'll come up with a dozen sites with lists of them. Be aware, though, that deer will eat almost anything once, that what they eat can change by the season, and what they don't touch at your neighbour's place they might eat at your place. I've even had the same kind of plant remain untouched at one location on my property while the deer nibbled it at another location. Best you can hope for is plants they won't strip down to stalks, more than once a season anyway. Generally speaking, aromatic stuff like herbs is left alone, but almost anything with any flowers gets eaten.
Try anything with aromatic foliage (rosemary, lavendar, salvia gregrii, santolina, most herbs). The deer here in California also seem to avoid ornamental grasses, dianthus, teucrium, and anything with silver/gray foliage. Good Luck!
honest to god i havent seen any plant they wont feed on. i live practically in the mountain and they even eat some of our flowers. i would imagine there is some plant or plant they wont eat but i havent seen any yet.
All t6he answers are correct but most of the plants deer dont like are deer resistant not deer proof so they may try them anyhow
