Deer-resistant plants for zone 7

Zone 7 means average annual minimum temperatures of zero to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Virginia, the Carolina piedmont, Oklahoma, parts of Oregon and Washington. Warm enough for evergreens that fail further north and cool enough for peonies and lilacs to still perform, which is the widest overlap of any zone on this list.
