Deerproof perennials



For Gardeners, nothing incites rage more than the sight of a deer munching on a prized plant





that they've spent precious dollars on, planted with the utmost of care, and nurtured just to





the brink of blooming. As the suburbs expand, deer have fewer natural areas to browse, and





our gardens become one of the few places they can sustain themselves. Because there doesn't





seem to be a ready solution to the overpopulation of deer, agardener's best option is to plant thing that deer would rather not eat. We asked a number of gardeners from across the country





which plants tend to remain unbrowsed in their gardens, and we share their picks with you





here. Keep in mind, however, that we use the term "deerproof " loosely: If deer are hungry





enough, they will eat just about anything.
