Are there any flowers that can be planted that rabbits won't eat?

We did petunias and a few lillies last year and they ate all the flowers and some of the green too!

If you use mothballs around your plants rabbits will not go near. Make sure you don't put them to close the plants, but around the area like the border of the garden. Rabbits hate the smell.


Don't forget mothballs outside will eventually degrade and disinegrate. Also I wouldn't want to put the mothballs where they could get on editable plants like vegetables. You don't want to be eating those chemicals but think about the far border. There's also a thing that goes on your water hose that senses motion sprays the rabbit
Reply:I lost my lillies to rabbits too. I was told if you put hair in your flowerbed it will repel animals. Clean out a hairbrush and put that in the flowerbed. Hopefully that will work and you'll be able to plant the flowers you want.
Reply:I recently stayed at my sister's place in the mountains of southern California. It is full of jack rabbits and deer - the animals that you would think would reek havoc on the foliage of one's garden and yard. But you know what? The place was LOADED with Narcissus! It grew everywhere as it had naturalized on the property. Nothing and I mean NOTHING touched it. I see Daffodils up here in northern California in the hills that are home to rabbits, deer, turkeys, wild boar, etc. Nothing eats them. So, try Daffodils, Irises, Peonies, and the like.





Note: Dinny's idea does work but you'll need much more than what you can find in a hair brush. You'll have to talk a barber into giving you their hair cuttings "out the back door" so to speak.
Reply:Rabbits like flowers with "watery" stems or flowers (tulips, petunias, etc.) They won't bother "woody" stem flowers...like Marigolds, Geraniums, etc.....I've never had them bother my dayllillies, but they did eat the other types of lillies. Never bothered Peonies or Hydrangea.


If you have Deer, that's a who other problem...they seem to eat EVERYTHING.
Reply:Try hibiscus, rose of sharon, bougenvilla, or yucca.
