Deer Resistant Cutting Flowers

Be sure to read my page on How to Have a Flower Garden When You Live With Deer. I give advice on how to protect your flower gardens from deer. And it describes how deer behavior can change throughout the year based on their seasonal needs, so you can know what to expect and what to do when. And what and where to get the materials you need to keep your flowers and all plants safe from hungry deer.
Since I live in an area with a heavy deer load I’m always protective of my flowers. I grow most of them in a fenced area.
Even flowers with good deer resistance may get eaten at times. For this reason I tend to not risk it and I fence them.
The ones I don’t worry about at all are lavender, irises, oreganos (culinary and ornamental), rosemary, daffodils, yarrow, Artemisia, santolina, and many greenery plants.
