5 Deer resistant flowers for your summer containers 1. Nasturtium is an edible flower, typically yellow, orange or red in color. While we love it in our salads, deer aren’t really fans of this colorful flower. Plant it alongside herbs or other edibles to try to keep deer at bay. 2. Globe Amaranthhas are electric-purple flowers that make it a great thriller plant in container gardens. 3. Marigold is a cheerful summer annual that can help keep pests — including deer — away from your tomatoes and other edibles. 4. Angelonia is an ideal summer annual because of its ability to withstand heat and humidity. 5. Ageraturm comes in a variety of blues and looks terrific paired with whites and yellows. This cheerful flower can protect itself and nearby plants from insects, and is toxic to grazing animals.
