Deer-resistant plants that bloom in summer

The easiest season, and the one with the widest choice. Summer is when the aromatic Mediterranean perennials are at full strength, and their volatile oils are both the reason they flower well in heat and the reason deer avoid them. Pressure is also lower now than at any other point in the year, because there is forage everywhere else.
