Tolerance

Rabbit

These plants are tagged rabbit-resistant in our source data — rabbits often leave them alone when tastier forage is available. That is not a fence. Hungry rabbits, young shoots, and local habits still cause damage.

Use this list for cottage and suburban gardens with light rabbit pressure, then protect new plantings. Pair plant choice with physical barriers where rabbits are persistent.

What matters most for Rabbit-resistant planting

  1. Treat “rabbit resistant” as relative — no plant is rabbit-proof.
  2. Guard seedlings and tender spring growth; mature plants are usually safer.
  3. Mix aromatic and coarse-textured plants rabbits typically avoid.
  4. Remove brush piles and hideouts near borders when you can.
  5. Use netting or fencing for high-value beds in heavy-pressure yards.
