Deer-resistant plants for Idaho
Mule deer come down to valley gardens as snow builds. Winter, not summer, is when the damage happens. Filtered to plants hardy in USDA zones 3 to 7, which covers most of Idaho. Mountain and coastal areas fall outside that range, so check your own zone before ordering.
