Create a serene oasis in shade with perennials that are as graceful as they are rugged, and, just as important to many gardeners, unpalatable to deer. The Tough as Nails collection features a trio of Astilbes with starry pink, red, and white spires and feathery leaves. Their easy-care companions include Lady Ferns, golden Japanese Forest Grass, and Lamium 'Pink Pewter,' a vigorous (but not aggressive), mat-forming ground cover with silver-gray leaves and pretty clear pink flowers. The number of plants of each variety is in parentheses. 13 plants total. Tough as Nails Deer-Resistant Garden for Shade includes:
The garden fills about 60 sq ft.
Please note: Japanese Forest Grass Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' has been replaced with Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' at this time.
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone.

The plants all came up and looked healthy but when they reached about 12" tall, the deer decided to go ahead and eat them. It took a month or two for them to eat the Japanese grass but they liked the ferns right away. I suppose the level of deer resistance may depend on other forage available but in Georgetown Texas, the deer didn't resist.
I am sorry to learn deer ate the plants in this collection. Here is information from the website regarding the protection of resistant plants for a period of time after planting:
