My Deer Garden

Deer-resistant plants for zone 8

Zone 8 means average annual minimum temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The lower south, Texas, and the coastal Pacific Northwest. Heat and humidity, not cold, decide what survives. Lavender and rosemary become genuinely permanent shrubs, and deer pressure is year-round rather than seasonal because there is no winter dormancy to interrupt it.
