Deer Resistant Plants by Common Name
Deer Resistant Plants > by Common Name | by Scientific Name | by Growth Habit
A plant's common name is often easier to remember than its scientific name, but it is not as precise. A common name can refer to two or more different plants, and a single plant species may have multiple common names. This can be confusing and problematic, especially if a common plant name is used for weedy or poisonous plant species as well as for harmless plant species. Use the table below to find plants by their common names, but be sure to check scientific names when ordering plants for your garden or landscape.
