Deer Resistant Plants
In Texas, it's a natural sight to see deer wandering around the neighborhood. When working on your landscape, consider these deer resistant plants to keep your front yard or back yard looking nice. They'll eat almost any type of plant when hungry, but better to get ones from this list than the rough morning surprise of seeing they came in the dead of night to snack on your beautiful plants. It gets especially bad during drought conditions where there's limited vegetation but your house looks like a food buffet. Through the trials of many Texans, try one of these that we know deer will turn to only as a last resort.
