    Ok the rabbits have ate both my reddish coral bells anyone have any ideas, They were getting so nice I covered them with pots , with holes in the top or they would be gone to.They eat them until they are at the end of the stems.
    Thank you all

    Cover with chicken wire either buried in the ground or staked to the ground with tent pegs.

    You have been fattening them up, get even. Shot gun, motion sensor, rabbit stew? :)

    Pepper spray! Take a clove of garlic mashed, a teaspooon of cayenne pepper, a 1/3 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and mix in a pint of water. Spray plants with this, and you'll have bunnies doing the hot-mouth two-step in the garden! Do not put this on plants that you eat the leaves or fruits of, for obvious reasons.
