Last yeat it seemed as if they went primarily after new tender stems, but this year they are eating already-established lilies, coneflowers, baptista... Help, please!

Try putting some mothball around the perimeter of your garden. The smell keeps most every animal away! When watering or the rain eventually washes them away, put more out there. Your pets won't bother them either, but I would be careful about curious younger children.

I know what keeps deer away, and maybe it would work for rabbits also. Take human hair and spread it around the edges of the garden. They don't like the smell since they think there are people around, and they stay away.
You can get the hair from a barber shop or beauty shop.

Use a shotgun. Like a 12 ga. With #18 goose shot. It works for all kinds of pests. Just make sure you buy steel shot and not lead.

Plant Marigolds. They do not like the smell. Or sprinkle the area with Cayenne pepper

A couple of outdoor dogs would work well. (They kind that like to chase rabbits)

You can make your own "Liquid Fence" type product, it's cheap and works fast:
