If the deer are using your landscape as a mid-afternoon or midnight snack, there are a couple of things you can do to save your favorite plants from almost certain destruction. Sunshine stocks many products that we classify as "anti-deer" and many plants that we classify as "deer-resistant." The best course of action is to landscape using deer-resistant plants, but if you must have a beautiful rose garden, we're here to help.

Anti-Deer products include chemical solutions for repelling deer and other animals with a scent that is undetectable by humans and safe for your plants, pets, family, and the water supply. We also carry a variety of motion-activated sprinklers that spray pests with a blast of water upon entering your yard. Other motion-activated products send out an unpleasant, high-pitched sound when activated. The pest will hear it, but you won't.

Leon the Nursery Dog is what works for us! If you just want to start over with deer-resistant plants, here are some that are in stock.

Mexican Butterfly Weed

Mexican Bush Sage

Salvia Greggii

Black-eyed Susan

This plant blooms from spring to fall. The deer don't like it, but the butterflies and hummingbirds do!

Sages are very drought-tolerant and deer-resistant plants. They need good drainage and full sun, and come in a variety of colors.

This plant comes in many colors and blooms from spring to the first freeze. Very drought-tolerant and deer don't like it!
