While no shrub is completely deer resistant, there are some that are less desired by our four-legged friends.
We have been planting shrubs that deer do not desire because we do not want them to continue to treat our yards as their walk-thru. Plus, these shrub options provide beautiful color all season long while keeping deer away.
The selections mentioned below are some that we have been planting are great zone 5 shrubs that provide great color and are not a favorite meal for deer.
Red-twig dogwood

Summersweet

Sweatfern
