Forget-Me-Not
These little dainty flowers have not crossed your mind when it comes to deterring deer, are we right?
These sweet flowers are a perfect addition to any flowerbed, and they are some of the boldest when it comes to the color they can bring to the yard.
Known as the one true blue flower, forget-me-not flowers are some of the earliest bloomers after winter, which makes them perfect if you want to start to bring more life to your garden fast after the cold season.
They can easily be planted in a lot of landscape designs, be it between rocks or cute flowerbeds, and they also come with the perk that they deter deer.
The taste of the forget-me-not foliage is bitter, and deer definitely stray away from it, even when they are pretty hungry.
So even if they may not completely stop the deer, you can rest assured that they will be left alone.
You can safely plant forget-me-not flowers in zones 3 to 10, and it will need a spot that can provide partial shade to partial sun, along with moist soil.

The iris mentioned as deer-resistant: Does this include the tall bearded irises? The last 2 years deer have eaten the buds off the stalk…..never bothered them until lately.
