Plants deer don't eat?

Where we live, the deer wander freely, tasting all the plants and flowers, and eating the ones they like. Hanging baskets are Ok because they can't reach. I would like a few flowering plants in the yard which cascade down, like the ones in a hanging basket. I would like to put them in pots on tables, etc. Any ideas for plants that deer won't eat?Plants deer don't eat?
springhillnursery.com %26amp; most online plant sales companies will tell you on the info page if deer like the plant or not. I was looking a different bushes %26amp; bulbs on several sites yesterday and almost all mentioned if they attracted deer or not.Plants deer don't eat?
What are those common deer-resistant trees and shrubs?

It is important to note that deer herds taste varies from herd to herd. What one herd enjoys may be left alone by another herd just a mile or two away.





If deer eat something in my yard, I dig it up and throw it away or give it away. I try not to plant anything that will encourage them to come to my yard, in fear that while there, they may try something new.........if they are starving they will eat anything that will not poison them.
