Here in Georgia, I have a terrible time keeping four legged eating machines, known to others as deer, out of my yard.  I must check deer resistant plant lists before planting anything.  All lists first state no plants are TOTALLY deer resistant.  As I am a newbie to the world of native plants, I started by checking out three common native plants:  milkweed, purple coneflowers and black eyed susans.  Milkweed was listed as highly resistant.  Yes!  Purple coneflowers and black eyed susans were given a “B” on the scale.  (Highly resistant plants were given an “A” down to least resistant, given a “D”.)  This gives me cautious hope!
