Seasonal Progression

Create a tidy garden space that will stay that way, despite a rampant rabbit problem. This EZ Scape™ is comprised of plants that are reliably uninteresting to rabbits. Each one also maintains a handsome, rounded habit without much, if any, interference on the gardener’s part. But if you’re interested in snipping and shaping, they’ll respond very well. Altogether, these plants create a very simple, soothing aesthetic. It’s the perfect view for spaces that need a lush, uncomplicated background that won’t be decimated by bunnies.
