Juniper

Since it can vary in size range, juniper can be the best choice for a lot of gardens since you can easily find it evening really near spaces.

They are not picky about their growing conditions, as long as it is not musting with water and they can get at least partial to full sun.

Junipers have a strong smell, and it also translates to a strong taste, which is going to make deer avoid coming near them. What’s more, if they can get over the smell and want to pass by your yard, the bristle-like foliage is going to make them think twice!

They are best grown in zones 2 through 9, and they are great if you want to add a pop of color since the juniper is an evergreen plant.

If you have been thinking about using the plants in your garden, they are known to be useful for UTIs, kidney and bladder stones, along with treating an array of stomach issues.

If you want to start using it for its medicinal properties too, in addition to deer repellent, ensure that you know what you are doing and that you research before you start using it.

  1. 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.
