8 Deer Proof Shrubs

The Proven Winners ColorChoice Deer Proof program includes some of our most popular, reliable shrubs, but we’ve added an insignia to their containers and tags to let your customers know they are less likely to be damaged by deer. This new branding makes these shrubs the clear choice for long-lasting landscaping that provides beauty, and peace of mind.

I bought a PW Dandy Dan rhododendron last year! The deer at every leaf on it. I’ve had older rhododendrons for 35 years and deer never ate them. I hope it comes back. It was a huge investment

I love Proven Winners but “Deer Resistant “ not “Deer Proof” would have been the accurate choice of words.

It's tacky to casually insinuate that deer damage provides sellers more opportunities to sell more plants. The gross expense of landscaping materials and plants makes this impossible for so many. Breeders and sellers should join forces with states and localities to better manage overpopulated deer herds. You will no longer have a business if deer issues are allowed to continue because people will give up due to the cost.

Disappointed that these are mostly for Zone 7 and lower. Would love to see options for zones 8+.

What about natives? This mostly suggests non native invasives
