Rabbits do not have an instinct for what plants are safe to eat and which aren't.  If you let your rabbit out in your garden, chances are it will try a nibble at most things it can get its teeth on so when in doubt protect your plants with fencing or confine your rabbit to a safe area.

As a general rule of thumb, keep rabbits away from all types of flowers grown from bulbs and from all evergreen trees and shrubs.
