Deer-resistant plants for zone 9

Zone 9 means average annual minimum temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Coastal California, the Gulf Coast and central Florida. Frost is occasional rather than structural. Most of the classic northern deer-resistant perennials struggle in the summer humidity, and the reliable palette shifts toward aromatic subshrubs, ornamental grasses and succulents.
