Heartleaf Foamflower
Another perfect plant that is going to be a great ally in deterring deer but attracting a myriad of other pollinators is going to be the Heartleaf Foamflower.
This plant has slim white blooms that are definitely popular among the likes of butterflies and bees, but due to their hairy-like leaves, deer are definitely not their fans at all.
It is likely due to the hairs tickling their noses, which makes them stay far away from these flowers.
Growing in zones 3 through 8, you can enjoy this early-blooming perennial throughout the year, with their favorite spots being in full to partial shade in well-drained but moist soil.
It is not a fussy plant, but it will bring some texture and dimension to your garden and help guard it from deer, so you can safely plant it at the border of your property and not worry if it is in a wooded area. Heartleaf foamflower thieves in the shade!
Hopefully, these plants will help you get rid of any issues you may have with deer. However, there are other plants you can grow that will definitely make your pets happy. Be it that you have a cat or dog, or even rabbits or goats, check out these easy-to-care-for plants your pets will love!

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.
