Deer-resistant plants for Wyoming
Short season, hard winters and heavy browsing on anything irrigated, because an irrigated garden is the greenest thing for miles. Filtered to plants hardy in USDA zones 3 to 6, which covers most of Wyoming. Mountain and coastal areas fall outside that range, so check your own zone before ordering.
