Hungry deer will eat almost anything, but the following shrubs are generally not attractive to deer. They tolerate poorly draining soils and are evergreen: Buxus microphylla, Chamaecyparis pisifera, Plume Cypress, Cotoneaster, Ilex glabra, Mahonia aquifolium, Picea abies varieties, Dwarf Norway Spruce. Hope one (or more) fit the bill!
