There was a line of really pretty blue flowers along the front of our house a couple days ago. (Kind of a surprise really since we weren't in this house a year ago & don't know what flowers were planted by the previous owner.)

Today - about 5 loney little flowers left after the frickin' bunnies chowed down! And the tulips are looking chewed up too.

We have tried egg/garlic spray, I think they are immune. The bunnies are so used to people around here, they don't even run. A guess they gotta eat but what a bummer! Anybody have any advice?

We've had good luck with rabbit repellant that contains pepper.

Ironic, because the bunnies ate a pepper plant we tried to grow a few years ago. My husband refused to put pepper spray on a pepper plant due to the irony of it all.

The pepper spray did keep them away from our flowers.

Get an outdoor cat.

There are actually flowers that bunnies don't like as much--check a garden book for your region. My yard is FULL of bunnies, but they don't eat my flowers. I don't know why--because there is so much else for them to eat? Our issue is deer. And if they get hungry enough, they will eat anything, despite what the garden books say!
