10 Rabbit Repellant Plants

Allium

Allium is a genus of plants that includes many ornament flowers, plus onions and chives. Ornamental alliums range in size from a foot to several feet tall and bloom in spring to mid-summer. Most are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture Hardiness Zones 3 – 9. For a border plant, try Allium ‘Millenium‘ (yes, it is missing an ‘m’) which slowly spreads. For a tall accent flower, consider Allium ‘Globemaster.’ Alliums in general prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Most ornament alliums are purchased as bulbs and planted in the fall and rabbits will avoid them.
