Hi, with the mild winters, the rabbit population has been exploding the past two years. Is there a list someplace where I can find out what flowers rabbits will not eat, and what rabbits will eat. I would like to avoid planting any flowers in order to avoid the heartbreak of seeing my flowers bitten off by a rabbit. Thank you for your assistance.

Rabbits are indeed a terrible nuisance in your garden and have a voracious appetite for certain plants. The following is a good website that offers rabbit-resistant garden and landscape plants. You can assume rabbits will try anything else, and just because certain plants are on this list does not mean that rabbits will totally avoid eating them. If this symbol * precedes the plant name it means that it is moderately deer resistant and if this symbol + precedes the plant name it means it is deer and rabbit resistant.
