Got deer? If so, then you\u2019ve no doubt dealt with the disappointment of them feasting on your fabulous foliage. As we continue to build homes in their habitats, deer have to look for other sources of food. Often, they choose the readily available plants in our yards and gardens.<\/span><\/p>

While you can\u2019t make your landscaping completely deer-proof, you can choose plants that deer don\u2019t like. We\u2019ve put together several suggestions for deer resistant landscaping for your Denver yard<\/a>. We\u2019ve also included some of the plants that deer find irresistible.<\/span><\/p>

Deer Resistant Plants<\/span><\/h2>

There’s no such thing as a deer-proof garden. \u201cDeer, if they\u2019re hungry enough, they are going to eat anything,\u201d says Dr. James Klett, Colorado State University Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. \u201cIf there is a completely deer-resistant plant out there, I don\u2019t know what it is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\"Dr.
Dr. James Klett is a professor of horticulture and landscape architecture. His areas of expertise include landscape plant material identification, culture, and care.  He also works on plant evaluation for the Rocky Mountain and High Plains area and has helped coordinate several state and regional programs, including Plant Select and Planttalk Colorado.

That said, all is not lost when it comes to keeping deer from dining in your garden. There are certain types of vegetation that deer don\u2019t find quite as tasty. Dr. Klett says, <\/span><\/p>

\u201cA lot of times, they don\u2019t like thorny plants or plants that are grayish or silver. They also don\u2019t tend to like hairy plants.\u201d Let\u2019s break it down into several categories of deer-deterrent plants.<\/span><\/p>

Perennials <\/span><\/h2>

Lamb\u2019s Ear<\/span><\/h3>

This velvety, silvery perennial makes a good ground cover. Deer tend to stay away from it because of its color, flavor, and furry coating.<\/span><\/p>

Lavender<\/span><\/h3>

Deer dislike lavender for the same reason a lot of humans love it: the smell. Lavender will look lovely in your garden while helping keep deer away.<\/span><\/p>

Penstemon<\/span><\/h3>

This drought-tolerant plant thrives in Front Range gardens. The colorful, long-lasting blooms attract hummingbirds but deter deer. <\/span><\/p>

Purple Coneflower<\/span><\/h3>

This pretty perennial flower puts off deer because of its rough foliage. It\u2019s drought-tolerant and blooms for weeks in the summer. <\/span><\/p>

Russian Sage<\/span><\/h3>

This plant flowers in late summer with feathery, purple blooms over silver foliage. Deer don\u2019t like the scent and tend to stay away.<\/span><\/p>

Salvia<\/span><\/h3>

Salvias will add color and texture to your garden from late spring to early fall. They don\u2019t need a lot of water and can tolerate hot, dry conditions. Their scent will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds but will deter deer. <\/span><\/p>

Bulbs<\/span><\/h2>

Allium<\/span><\/h3>

These flowers bloom later than most other bulbs, in late spring to mid-summer. They look pretty, but as a member of the onion family, they actually stink. Their strong smell and flavor keep deer away.<\/span><\/p>

Daffodils<\/span><\/h3>

Deer don\u2019t like daffodils for a simple reason: they\u2019re toxic. Squirrels will also stay away from these hardy and beautiful bulbs.<\/span><\/p>

Hyacinths<\/span><\/h3>

Hyacinth bulbs are also poisonous to deer. After the bulbs bloom, deer will steer clear of the flowers and foliage. <\/span><\/p>

Trees\/Shrubs<\/span><\/h2>

Colorado Blue Spruce<\/span><\/h3>

These stately evergreen trees double down on deer defense with their strong scent and prickly needles.<\/span><\/p>

Common Juniper<\/span><\/h3>

Deer stay away from this shrub or tree because of its prickly texture and the strongly scented oils in its needles (noticing a theme here?).<\/span><\/p>

Lilac<\/span><\/h3>

Deer avoid lilac trees because of their strong aroma. Common white, common purple, and Persian lilacs do especially well in Denver\u2019s climate.<\/span><\/p>

Pinyon Pine<\/span><\/h3>

This is another tree with stiff, prickly needles that deer tend to avoid.<\/span><\/p>

Sumac<\/span><\/h3>

Dr. Klett says some native sumacs can repel deer. Fragrant sumac is especially effective. Fragrant sumac is low growing but spreads wide, so it makes an excellent ground cover.<\/span><\/p>

Deer-Attracting Plants<\/span><\/h2>

On the flip side, there are plenty of plants that deer find absolutely delectable. Dr. Klett says deer love tulips in the spring. He says they also love trees in the prunus genus, including plum and cherry trees. And finally, he warns arborvitae trees are one of their all-time favorite snacks. \u201cI\u2019ve had some in the arboretum, and they\u2019ve just come in and munched on them as high as they can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Oh, Deer Droppings<\/span><\/h2>

Deer damage<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t limited to them grazing on your plants. Their droppings leave a mess on your lawn. Yes, it’s high in nitrogen and can make good fertilizer. The problem is, they don’t spread their droppings evenly throughout the lawn. Heavy concentrations can burn your grass.<\/span><\/p>

Those <\/span>droppings often contain E. coli<\/span><\/a>, which will contaminate the fruit and vegetables in your garden. The <\/span>U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/span><\/a> recommends against using them in compost since the compost rarely gets hot enough to kill all the bacteria.<\/span><\/p>

Tree Damage<\/span><\/h2>

Bambi also does a lot of damage, rubbing their antlers against trees. You can protect your trees with <\/span>wrapping in the winter<\/span><\/a> and fencing. But these critters can jump pretty high, so the fencing needs to be at least 6 to 8 feet tall. A less-expensive option is to place wire or plastic mesh around tree trunks. This can be especially effective in late winter through spring. It\u2019ll protect tender bark from antler damage.<\/span><\/p>

Whether you consider them majestic creatures or four-legged rodents, it\u2019s a fact that deer can do a lot of damage to your landscape. While you can\u2019t completely prevent it, you can cut the damage by choosing the plants they find distasteful. <\/span><\/p>

Talk to a Denver landscaping expert<\/a> if you need help selecting plants or trees for your landscape.<\/p>
