A somewhat deer-resistant garden, out of necessity; a garden of unruly lamb’s ear, nepeta, cleome, lady’s mantle, and zinnias with some boxwood for structure. Oh, and deer won’t touch daffodils, peonies, and euphorbia. There’s some saving grace.
Here are a few other plants that have survived that might interest you, especially if you are in the same predicament.
