Rabbit Resistant Annuals & Flowers

Rabbit resistant annuals let you fill your garden beds with season-long color without inviting rabbits to help themselves. These plants rely on strong scents, fuzzy textures, and bold flavors that bunnies find unappealing. Because annuals give you a fresh start each season, you can try new rabbit resistant flowers every year and keep things interesting.

At Garden Crossings, we select our annuals for vibrant blooms and reliable rabbit resistance. You'll find trailing varieties for containers, upright bloomers for garden beds, and low-growing options for borders. Plant them where you want color most and enjoy a full season of beautiful blooms without the bunny worry.
