I am planning a bed in a rabbit infested area of my garden. :-((
Do rabbits like them or generally ignore them? I've searched the net
and can only find reference to deer and hebe, they of course eat them,
but no deer here my dear!

We only have hares, no rabbits. Hares consider hebes a gourmet dish
:-(. Strangely, the hares only eat the hebes with purple leaves or
purple flowers. Blue pink and white ones seem safe.

My hebes are eaten below about 12 inches. We are infested with rabbits and the occasional deer so I would hazard a guess that it's the darned rabbits as the tops are still there!
