Deer Resistant Perennials

Written By Rosemarie Andrews

Deer are arguably the worst enemy of Long Island gardeners, so we’re growing more of what they (usually) don’t enjoy so your gardens have a better chance to thrive. It’s a great time of year to add perennials to your landscape, here’s what perennials we have that won’t be deer food.
