rabbit preferences for winter food. Many of you know that I put in a new hedgerow last spring. Well, the rabbits really did a job on it over the iwnter. I have to report that rabbits adore the twigs of grey dogwood, serviceberry, chokeberry, witchhazel, and american hazelnut, but they don't eat ninebark.
Simply so, do rabbits eat ornamental grasses?
Rabbits feed on plants that are within their reach, which would mean their damage would only be low to the ground, while deer have a much higher reach. Many types of ornamental grasses make a good habitat for rabbits, but many won't eat the older, tough blades.
In this way, do rabbits eat alyssum?
Sweet Alyssum Lobularia maritima bears clusters of tiny white, lavender, violet or pink flowers in spring. Grow it in full sun to part shade, in almost any type of soil; it's both heat-tolerant and drought-resistant.
Diablo Ninebark will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It has a low canopy, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years. This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade.
