Deer Resistant Plants: Coleus
The deer-resistant coleus is a foliage plant -- which means it is grown for the leaves rather than the blooms -- that attracts butterflies and can grow in garden beds and houseplant containers.
Do deer and rabbits eat coleus?
Being a lush foliage plant, coleus is not resistant to rabbits, but a particular species, referred to as coleus canina (Plectranthus caninus), does deter rabbits. Coleus canina is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11.
