Here are some plants the deer have not eaten in the past four years:
monarda, spirea, campanula "blue clips,"  campanula poscharskyana,
campanula garganica,  echinacea, erigeron,  daffodils, boltonia, chamomile,
daylilies (why, I don't know),  coreopsis verticillata (moonbeam), achillea
(various types), goldenrod, various shasta daisies (leuchanthemum),
Siberian iris, gentians, creeping thymes, salvia May Night,  Veronica
Goodness Grows as well as a pink Veronica and a ground cover one,
penstemons, epimedium, ferns, foxglove, delphinium

So far they have not eaten the Rodgersia (2 yrs old),  my new
new-this-season cimicifuga ramosa and silene (2 yrs old).

They're in my garden during the winter.  They stay away most of the summer
-- probably waiting for the phlox to bloom -- and then come in around now
and start nibbling.  They're eating a beautiful aster purple dome they left
alone for three years.  They munched up the phlox flower heads.  They
nipped off the roses.  They groomed the mock orange.

I think most of the plants I mentioned would work for you.   I suggest you
look for a copy of The Undaunted Garden by Lauren Springer.  I just bought
it,  and I think its a terrific guide to short season growing in a
difficult climate.
