Plants rabbits avoid...??!

Just been reading a bit about plants that are rabbit proof (I'm presuming meaning safe from wild rabbits) and apparently rabbits tend to avoid strong scented plants, prickly plants and sticky plants... That must mean they'd hate lavender, brambles, roses, sticky weed... Hmmm :roll: :lol: I bought a dahlia yesterday as I couldn't resist the gorgeous orange flowers! Now I'm thinking where can I put it well out of rabbits' reach?! (Not safe to nibble!)
 
Mine seem to avoid Choisya and only occasionally nibble large Hebes. They ate the lot when I got some new small Hebes! Kerria Japonica seems to survive as does Buddleia. I have some fruit trees with long rabbit guards around the trunks. That's about it in my garden - everything else is up on shelves or in large planters.
