Default Deer resistant ground cover

I was looking through http://www.mydeergarden.com/ and I see they had Ajuga
(bugleweed) and Lamium and good deer resistant ground cover.

Does any one else have anything suggestions that are good deer resistant
ground covers. These two look ok, but I was thinking of something more
"green". I used to live in town where deer weren't a problem and we had a
lush soft green ground cover that looked like clovers. You couldn't really
walk on them because it wasn't a sturdy grass, but any 2 yr old that went
back there sure wanted to walk on them. I don't know what it was, but I
would like to have something nice, lush green.

Thanks

We have a severe deer problem. The deer clipped back most of my
azaleas, so there won't be much bloom this year. They graze on the
front lawn (tall fescue) but that does not seem to hurt it. They ate
the mondo grass and English ivy. They have not touched the blue rug
juniper growing a sunny slope. And they have not touched the
pachysandra which is growing in a wooded area where the deer
frequently go.
