It is possible that if they eat it they may never eat again. Oleander is very poisonous, You have an interesting choice.

I found a whole long list in my Roy Lancaster book: Shrubs first -

Berberis x stenophylla
Buddleja 'Lochinch'
Hypericum forrestii
Mahonia x media
Rhododendron 'Exquisite'
Romneya coulteri
Spiraea nipponica
Viburnum sargentii
Weigela

Perennials:

Aconitum lycotonum
Astilbe
Artemisia ludoviciana
Digitalis purpurea
Lysimachia clethroides
Papaver orientalis
Helleborus
Epimedium
Geranium sanguineum
Lamium maculatum
Rudbeckia fulgida
Sisyrinchium striatum

I do hope that you can find and like some of these. At least there are plenty to choose from! I hope it helps.

Good luck.

The only effective way to keep deer away is Deer fencing or a Deer cull. In the long run, deer deterrents such as being discussed here do not work. They may work for a day or two, but then it rains etc.

if you are in England, a voluntary group called Southern Counties Deer management can help. They provide free advice, and a free deer cull where necessary. hey are police approved and fully licensed.

You can get in touch with them at www.DeerControl.org.uk
or call 07900 676 400

Their email is info@deercontrol.org.uk

They can advise in detail on issues such as deer fencing, deer repellants, deeer cull, tree guards, deer resistant plants, species of deer in england, deer damage, deer stalking and all other related issues
