    Rabbit-proof or rabbit-resistant flowers include: foxglove (Digitalis), monkshood (Aconitum), lavender (Lavendula), and catnip (Nepeta). Geraniums (Pelargoniums)and Marigolds are also said to be very rabbit proof, but there are other reports of rabbits eating marigolds. Bird of Paradise is supposed to be rabbit proof. And apparently they won't eat hostas or echinacea. Another report mentions rosemary and dianthus.

    Apparently what plants rabbits will or won't eat has a lot to do with the current food supply. Lilies are reportedly ignored by some rabbits unless the food supply is short, at which time they won't hesitate.

    I think its a gross generalisation to assume the wabbit wouldnt be interested... He may be fascinated by flora and fauna and have a real deap-seated interest in all things horticultural...

    As we live in an era of equality and unity, Who's to say that the wabbit wont go-on to host his own Garden SOS show and do really well.. After that dries up theres always voice-over work or Carrot commercials, may be even toothpaste endorsement, if Arnie "T2" Schwarzeneger can become a leading politician then this 'rabbit' as you put it could be president. Being the first wabbit president is not entirely unnobtainable.

    The cute by annoying critters haven't touched my begonias--yet. They've also not touched my lantana.

    anyone know a good recipe for rabbit stew? I've had it with wild rabbits in my Phoenix yard.

    Have you tried some sort of spray repellent like Defence? That's what worked for my garden. It might be worth giving it a shot. I think I got it for $12 or so last year, and I only had to spray it every few months. This stuff is a bargain for how well it worked.
    I just found it online again, and it looks like you get 10% off if you sign up for their email:

    Go to the barber shop and get you some human hair. It repells them. Just sprinkle around the boundary of the garden, and replenish every few weeks.
