Question:
Are there flowering shrubs and plants deer will not eat?
Answer:
Deer will eat any plant if they are hungry enough. Memphis Botanic Garden Horticulturist Jill Maybry says she recommends plants that grow natively in your area that the deer tend to leave alone. These tend to be plants with a strong scent or furry leaves. She gives some native and non-native suggestions.
