| Have a terrible problem with rabbits. Eating everything, don't want fence around everything. Tried Liquid Fence and Habenaro spray, partially effective but a pain inthe neck redoing it all the time. So, I have decided to plant what they don't like and adapt my design accordingly. Can't fight Mother Nature... |

Iris
Daylilly
Sedum
Hosta
Heuchera
Liatris A few they have reduced to stumps:
Chokeberry (Aronia)
Roses
Willows
Magnolia (Stellata), though they haven't bothered the others. |

| Yes, a .22 with a silencer. lol From the list above - I've had rabbits eat the new growth tips from hosta, gnawed my hydrangea to the ground as well as a Chicago Luster Viburnum. I don't think you can fill a garden with plants that rabbits won't eat, because they'll eat just about anything to keep from starving. |
