GardenSMART :: Ten No-No Plants if You Have Rabbits

Ten No-No Plants if You Have Rabbits

By Kerry Mendez for Plantskydd

In many regions there seems to have been an explosion in the rabbit population. And like deer (especially fawns) they are adorable to look at. Unfortunately the damage they can do to our gardens is not so adorable. It is downright sickening.

One way to reduce our heartache is to steer clear of perennials that ring the loudest dinner bell for these four-footed hoppers.

New England and Michaelmas Asters (Aster novi-belgii and Aster novae-angliae)
Tall Phlox (Phlox paniculata)
Japanese Anemone (Anemone x hybrid)
Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata)
Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus)
Mountain Bluet (Centaurea montana)
Northern Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum)
Pincushion Flower (Scabiosa caucasica)
Gayfeather (Liatris spicata)
Tree Peony(Paeonia suffruticosa)
