I am in Zone 11. What colorful perennials deer resistant plants?

Question

I have a shady area, live in Zone 11 and have had to transplant some of plants because they are just not suited for shade. I also have deer feeling they can drop in anytime. This shade is provided by a large live oak tree. Thanks.

Hello Susan,

My compliments—You’re very wise to consider -your plan selection first rather than put the plants in and try to fight off deer intrusion! This was one of my exam questions. Perhaps these publications might help you.
