Rabbit Resistant Plants
No plant is said to be totally rabbit proof. Young rabbits investigage by nibbling most plants. However, they soon learn which plants are tasty, and which to leave alone. In general rabbits dislike very aromatic plants, plants that ooze caustic or milky sap, prickly plants, plants with spines, or plants with tough, leathery leaves.
