At one time I had terrible trouble with rabbits nibbling my flowers right down to the soil and literally digging the whole plant out of the ground! I finally took the time to take 1 in. chicken wire fold it in a circle to fit my plant and the rabbit could not nibble through the cage and after about two weeks when the plant was starting to set out roots and blooms I would remove the cage and the rabbits would not bother my plants! Another solution to my rabbit problem was a few feral cats! "No more nibbling rabbits!"
