Scattering poison daily seems to do the trick, but I actually kinda like rabbits and I'm not a big fan of exposing myself to the poison that much.

Then to my surprise, beautiful purple striped blooms started appearing inside the plant. I'm glad I was able to identify it. I look forward to enjoying it's full beauty. Oh, it seems to have a few more starting to sprout. Very easy to care for . . . I've done nothing!!
