here's a list of a bunch i found, they're not specifically winter sown. but at least you can know, i typed in deer resistant flowers in google. yes i get bored easy!!! LOL :'))

Thanks for a quick reply. I hope you did a cut and paste and not typed it out.

I did not think of butterfly bush as being deer resistant. Good, as I have 80 bajillions seeds... Okay, not that many. But I do have quiet a few of the ones listed up above.

Makes me feel good that I will be bypassed by the deer (hopefully).

We have deer here as well. They have not bothered the Gaillardia (Blanketflower), Echinacea (Coneflower), or Rudbeckia, but they think the tulips are extra yummy!

Other things I didn't see on the list above, that they haven't bothered in my garden (of course, your results may vary) are Dianthus (although the bunnies like this one), Geum, Asclepias tuberosa, Coreopsis, and Chrysanthemums.

Bonnie

medontdo - Great list!! I'll have to copy for future reference.

From 2001 to 2006 my gardens were never touched by deers. Then they discovered them and now will come right up to the house at night and devour what they like - especially my favourite Phlox Paniculata.

Because of this, I've had to change things a bit. I've discovered that a lot of butterfly friendly plants are disliked by deers. They will not eat them.

Plants which are not on the list above and which I have winter sown are Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed), Lynchnis Chalcedonica (Maltese Cross) as well as other Lynchnis, Baptisia Australis (Blue False Indigo), Astilbe, and Aquilegia (Columbine).

One which I haven't winter sown but which they avoid is Cimicifuga (Bugbane), and another is Lupines. The Lupines grow wild here and reseed in my gardens.

oh yeah a big time thing one lady posted somewhere about was allium, she said she had it all over, then her neighbor took them out or something then the deer started eating her gardens so this year she was gonna start putting them in like a boarder and sparadically again. LOL yes, cut and paste, LOL tabor taught me that one!! LOL and i'm supposed to be the teacher!! LOL (homeschool) HEE HEE
i did see astilbe on there but it didn't say it was deer resistant, well it was another list. LOL i don't live on a farm yet, well animal farm, LOL unless ya count my two kiddo's!! LOL they are the onriest!! LOL :')) good luck!!

We have way too many deer where I live. Last year they ate the Joe Pye weed and the flower heads off of the echinacea while still green. I sprayed a concoction that I made from a recipe I found on-line on those plants to deter them. They began to leave that stuff alone, but it didn't stop them from eating any and all fruit trees.

medontdo,

Actually, I'm the one you are refering to in regards to the alliums. I took them out by mistake since I hadn't made the connection between them and the deers leaving my gardens alone. My gardens were much smaller at the time and I was dividing plants to give to my daughter's Spring Fair at school and by mistake they were thrown out by DH before I could place them back in the ground. It's later that year that the deers began to eat the gardens and I put two and two together.

Last fall, I planted over 150 alliums in the gardens all over the place. They do not like onions or any family member there of. Hopefully it will work, but I fear they've had the taste of things.

ok i remember now!! :')) hmmm.....its osssoo nice to know i do retain things!!! LOL :')) i hope they stay out of your gardens!! :'))

That is great to read about the alliums. I received some in a trade last fall and planted them in with my tulip bulbs. With any luck that may keep the deer away! I am going to pray that the alliums pop up early when the tulips start to sprout!

ok i "just happened" LOL to come accross another thingi, hope thing. LOL hope these ones help out.
Q&A: Flowers Deer Avoid
Question: We live in upstate NY, and have several areas that would be great for naturalizing perennials and bulbs. Can you suggest plants that would be somewhat deer-resistant?

Answer: Deer are crafty, and if they're hungry, persistent. This is to say, take all "deer resistant" recommendations with a grain of salt because hungry deer will eat just about anything. That said, here are some choices that would work where you live: astilbe, bee balm, bleeding heart, columbine, coreopsis, crocosmia, crocus, daffodil, dahlia, foxglove, gloriosa daisy, hellebore, lupine, moss pink, pincushion flower, poppy, purple coneflower, and thyme. The only guaranteed solution to keeping deer at bay is a fence -- one tall enough that deer can't jump.

Those lists of things deer won't eat don't come with guarantees. The thing about deer - they get curious, and their tastes change. Our deer don't even get really hungry with no snow cover, but they will ALWAYS eat the roses, raspberries, and columbine.

Last year they ate allium flavum and cyaneum down to nubs so don't be thinking they will never touch an ornamental onion....nothing else in that bed was touched.

Hardy geraniums are a fav here too.

This year we've found substantial munching on a neighbors big boring evergeen laurel and her viburnum. One winter and only one winter, they ate every azalea on all sides of my house.

Normally I don't protect anything but roses from deer, and they continue to occasionally surprise me by trying something new.
