For a deer-resistant, low-maintenance landscape in Mead, WA, consider serviceberry, a hardy small tree with spring blooms and summer berries. Oregon grape is a tough, evergreen shrub with spiky leaves and bright yellow flowers that deer tend to avoid. Mahonia offers unique, fern-like foliage with vibrant winter flowers. Nandina provides year-round color with red-tinted leaves and compact growth. Witch hazel adds seasonal interest with fragrant winter blooms, while lilac brings spring flowers and a classic scent. These options offer beauty and resilience while staying off the menu for local wildlife.
