What plants and shrubs are deer resistent

http://albany.cce.cornell.edu/gardening/deer-resistant-plants

Daffodils, foxgloves, and poppies are common flowers that have a toxicity that deeravoid. Deer also turn their noses up at fragrant plants with strong scents. Herbs such as sages, ornamental salvias, and lavender, as well as flowers like peonies and bearded irises, are just “stinky” to deer.

I would check with your local garden center they could give you the best advice for your area.

Marigolds are my favorite annual that I plant all over in the spring time, they bloom heartily most of the summer and dear (and most other critters) hate them.

lemon grass works for me, also lavender and juniper!
