It can be frustrating to have new flowers planted only to watch them be eaten by snacking rabbits. If plants in your landscaping are frequently damaged by rabbits, consider having flowers planted that don’t appeal to these critters. Learn more about a few flowers that won’t attract rabbits to help your yard looks its best all season long.

Which Flowers Don’t Attract Rabbits?

1. Yarrow

Yarrow is a flowering perennial that thrives in a variety of soils and grows best in full sunlight. Yarrow is a low-maintenance flower. It doesn’t require any fertilizing, and it only needs to be watered in times of full drought. It features delicate white flowers when it blooms. Plus, rabbits aren’t attracted to yarrow, which ensures it will thrive in your landscaping.

2. Columbine

If you want to add vibrant color to your yard, look no further than Columbine. These hardy perennials feature rich purple flowers that will stand out in your landscaping. Even though Columbine flowers grow in environments that rabbits like––such as shady woodland gardens––these plants are typically left alone.

3. Peonies

Peonies are popular flowers. Their full blooms look beautiful in the yard or in a vase on a kitchen table. Rabbits aren’t attracted to some peony plants, so choose a peony hybrid rather than a tree peony, which rabbits will like. 

4. Russian Sage

Sage plants serve as repellents for rabbits. Russian sage is a low-maintenance perennial that can work well as a border for your flower beds. The plant features purple blooms that add a subtle pop of color to your yard.

5. Lupine

Lupines are perfect for the back of your flower bed, adding color and height. Rabbits aren’t attracted to these plants, which will grow to between 1-4 feet tall. Lupines come in several colors, most notably blue, yellow, pink, and purple. These plants thrive in sunny spaces with well-drained soil.
