Hi, I know there's a few threads about rabbit safe plants anyway but I did a search& there was nothing recent. . Is getting to the time of year where we start to think about the garden. I really want to get mine rabbit safe this year so I can let them have some free ranging time. I'm looking for some advice from some of you clever plant people!
Firstly, I'm after some ideas for some more substantial plants, (maybe shrubs?) To develop a bare patch of bed. It's very shady on that side of my garden&I live near the sea although thatside is protected by a high fence. On that side at the moment I have some kind of large hebe bush, severalRoses , a couple of hydrangea, an escalonia (?) T
tree & a couple of euphorbia. I think the euphorbia are poisonous so would like to stop them self seeding everywhere. I have a large gap where I would like to put something rabbit safe but also somethingthat will last & I don't have o replant every year.
On the sunnier side of the garden I know I can plant lavender but what else would be rabbit safe?
I'm not sure if hydrangea are safe for rabbits? They tend to ignore them? I have lots of lovely daffodils so I just can't let thebuns out at this time of year.
Sorry rambled abit! Just advice I'm after really on what is safe and Hardy enough to survive. Then I can focus on growing some rabbit food crops too.
Thanks for any advice!
