Yes, I've had them eat low growing buds before - but not daylily leaves.

Something ate the leaves on one of my DL about 2 inches off the ground. I assumed it was rabbits.

What do you use to deter rabbits? I use Deer Off, but did not spray DL. I have to remember to re-spray after rain and I have so many beds, that I wonder if anything else works. I see these ultrasonic units - anyone tried?

I've been having good success keeping the deer away with a mixture of Gain liquid fabric softener (one cap full to a gallon of water). It might work for rabbits too. The other thing I used to deter the rabbits was red pepper sprinkled around the plants and a spay with hot sauce in it.

I will try both and thanks. How often does the Gain need to be sprayed?

I used milorganite this year. It worked pretty well. I had damage to two hosta this year. Last year without it I lost more than half of my lilies, all of my phlox and several hosta. The good thing about it is it's a mild fertilizer, safe for people and pets, doesnt burn any foliage, is cheap and is spread with a hand spreader. I did four applications this spring, mostly after it rained. I have enough left for one more application. The big bag I bought was $8.

Will get it tomorrow!
