Does this look like dinner to a rabbit?

Flower gardens and rabbits don't get along, at least from the viewpoint of the gardener. In fact, rabbits can be a problem for home owners and their plants. Period. The rabbits girdle young trees during the winter, removing all the bark circling the bottom of a small, growing tree. Hostas appear to be delicious. Rabbits will eat budding hostas right to the ground and the rabbits will come back for seconds as the hostas attempt to recover.

Seeking a solution, some neighbours have place live traps around their property. Trapped rabbits are taken for long car rides and released miles some miles away deep in farm country. No idea how the farmers feel about this solution.

Me, I'm looking at colourful foliage plants. I've noticed that my palace purple, also known as coral bells, seems to be ignored by the rabbits, groundhogs and other wildlife paying a short visit to my yard. The plant at the top of the post was sighted in a local garden centre. Although I didn't buy it, I did pick up some other plants sporting very colourful foliage. Now, to see if these plants attract or deter the hungry wildlife stopping by for a quick snack.
