What Deer Resistant Shrubs to Plant? (Pacific Northwest)

Oak Harbor, WA

Hi,

I need some help, please. I have a couple of 3' x 3' square raised beds in my front lawn that sit about 4' apart from each other (7' apart, center to center) A couple of flowering shrubs would look great in these, but deer have eaten everything I've planted there so far, even when I use Liquid Fence. They even ate the 'deer resistant' plants I tried last year! I'm frustrated and tired of planting and planting, only to be foiled by my 4-hooved nemeses.

I'd really like the site to look a lot better. It's the first thing seen by everyone that arrives at the entrance to our neighborhood. The soil is rocky clay usually, but both beds have been dug out and replaced with good stuff, and drainage is OK. It's full Sun and open exposure. I wouldn't mind spending a fair amount of money for larger, more well developed shrubs if I only knew they would survive the deer damage.

Any suggestions??

Thank You
