Id like to know what perennial summer flowers rabbits/squirrels won eat?
I haven’t seen a list of flowers rabbits wont eat, but you might try interplanting them with plants they don’t like the odor. These include garlic, onions, Mexican marigold, and dusty miller. If they’re not too hungry, you might also try sprinkling blood meal, human or dog hair, or ground hot peppers around plants. Sometimes soda bottles, buried with the tops sticking out (they whistle in the wind) are effective. Commercial repellent sprays are often effective, but I’ve learned you must cover ALL parts of the plant (just spray the leaves and they’ll eat the stems!). You can make your own spray with a few teaspoons of cayenne pepper, a few drops of dish soap, in a quart of water. Such taste and odor repellents may also be effective on squirrels. If all these fail for rabbits, fencing is the most effective. Make sure the poultry wire mesh or similar is about 18 inches above ground, and at least 6 inches below ground.
