I find that if you put some ornamintial garlic it always helps to keep the deer out of your other plants...just add some to your beds with your other flowers..
Basket of gold, bleeding hearts, globe amaranth, lamb's ear, lantana, lily of the valley, Russian sage, snapdragons, cleome, beauty bush, chaste tree, daphne, shadbush, spiraea, peonies, daffodils, agerratum, spurge, holly bush, trumpet flowers, anise, vinca, viburnum, barberry, blue fescue grass, butterfly bush, catmint, box woods, foxglove, dusty Miller, nicotiana, forget me nots, fountain grass, heliotrope, larkspur, lavender, lemon balm, marigolds, rose campion, Russian cypress, statice, strawflowers, alyssum, sweet woodruff, coreopsis, yucca...this should get you started!
there is a great list at the 'Lodi Farms, Ann Arbor MI' website. Even better is Michigan State University Extension website (bulletin 3042) for a list of plants usually not eaten and plants they love. In my yard it is 8-10 foot fences, as they nibble everything spitting out what they don't like, only to try it again and again. I've also found it effective to string 2 line of fishing line (at 3.5 ft and 5 feet high) between 2 trees and divert them away from an area. they don't see it, run into it and move away. Now if my sons could just stop deer from running into their cars, that would be great.
The deer don't see the line, but feel it against their chest and are surprised and run off the other way. It is very effective if you have trees or poles to tie it too. I've never found a deer tangled in it, or had the line broken. Remember it was made for fish. I guess the deer are not moving fast as they would in an open field, when starting to come upon my yard-despite my yard being 2.5 acres. I need to add some chicken wire to the tall arborvitae in the back of the yard-I can see some damage from them eating it over the winter.
