Looking for ideas to make a fence to keep Rabbits from eating Asiatic Lilly leaves. Every year the rabbits eat the leaves off the stalk leaving unpleasant looking plants, each plant needs own enclosure as they are not close to each other. Want attractive yet functiona, fence height varied for each variety of Lilly. So ideas are welcomed, I can do exact sizing to fit each Lilly type. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Perhaps you could use tomato cages and wrap them with chicken wire to place around each plant. It would be functional.

Rabbits usually eat the lily bulbs. The deer are the main culprits for the flowers themselves. They make rolls of metal garden fencing. You can make tubes by cutting a length suitable for the plant, rolling into a tube so the ends touch and secure with wire or electrical plastic ties. Sink into the ground around each plant. The wire comes in green so it blends in with the garden.

Maybe transplant your lilies into a raised bed garden, away from the rabbits.

Hello B,
I think it might be better to move the Lilies into a large Pot off the ground because rabbits can hop over fences or burrow under them. Best wishes
