I planted 4 milkweed and 1 grew back successfully last year for my butterfly garden. I’m now at war with the rabbits and nothing can deter them.
Tried chicken wire, liquid fence, garlic/pepper spray, and shaved Irish spring soap. Tried to give them a peace offering with corn and ended up finding the ear in the middle of the garden. I lost a total of 10 stocks and they’re still munching away at them. Lost 2 more today. My common and Cinderella milkweed have been eaten along with my butterfly weed and my two bleeding heart plants. I can confirm it’s indeed rabbits as my dog has chased away several from the garden and will “guard” there on nice days. #fun source
