What flowering plant is deer resistant?

I live in the Georgia Mountains, in my area we have a lot of free roaming deer. They are beautiful but eat everything! I would like to plant something that flowers but will not be reduced to stem from the deer. In addition, I also want to make sure they are not toxic to any of the wild animals.

That is a tall order. However, people have had good luck with this. Hope it helps.

Most tags on the plant will tell you if it is deer resistant. Go to a nursery and just look at the tag of a plant you love and see if it will work for you.
Type into search deer resistant plants, or go to your library to find certain gardening help.
Daffodils, foxgloves, and poppies are common flowers that have a toxicity that deer avoid.
The deer never touch my lavender or my echinacea .... so I have lots of these in my yard. Easy to care for too.
