what species of impatiens are deer resistant

Question

I planted impatiens last year because I was told they are deer proof; however, the deer in my area don’t know that and had a lot of wonderful meals at my gardening budget. Is there a particular species of impatiens that deer don’t eat, or what type of flowers would you suggest? Thank you.

Answer 1

For the most part, they are deer resistant. That being said, no matter what the plant, if a deer is very hungry, it will eat almost anything. This is why they say deer resistant rather than deer proof.

Here is a link to a site with a list of deer resistant plants:
