Are you using the flower for decorative purposes only, for pest & rabbit control, or do you want an edible flower?

Many people say that marigolds will keep rabbits away from gardens, but I have had rabbits actually EAT marigolds. Nasturtiums, Calendulas, Violas, Pansies, Daylilies are all edible and would look good as a border. Or if you are just going for looks you could really plant any flower that you like......
