Deer Resistant Vines
One of the biggest problems in gardens is deer. These animals will eat any and all foliage that they have access to. It is important to plant deer resistant vines around the border of the garden to help stop this from happening.

Deer resistant vines work great as a ground cover as well. One of the best deer resistant vines is the vinca vine. This vine will cover the ground quickly and with little maintenance. Best of all, vinca is extremely effective in keeping deer out of a garden or lawn.

The vinca vine, also known as creeping myrtle, will grow in zones 4 through 8, and requires good drainage. This deer resistant vine loves shade, and is often planted under large trees. The bloom of these deer resistant vines is bluish lavender and blooms in the spring and intermittently throughout the summer.

Deer resistant vines will help your garden to protect itself from deer; however, the gardener will need to protect the garden from the vinca vine, which is very intrusive. While the vinca is a perfect deer resistant vine, it will take over the garden completely if much care is not taken to ensure that it does not spread rampantly.
