Deer-resistant plants that bloom in fall
The shortest list of the three, and the most useful, because a bed that has nothing after August is a bed that looks finished for half the year. Pressure climbs again through fall as natural forage dies back and the rut begins, so late flowers get browsed harder than the same plant would in June. Choose from the top two tiers here rather than the middle.
