Sharon - I used to have the same problem with rabbits eating my Aster (and other foliage). I read somewhere - probably Pinterest - to grate/shred original scented "Irish Spring" soap (which I found at the dollar store) to keep them away. I tried it this year and - viola! My Aster bloomed beautifully and my lily buds didn't get eaten! It didn't seem to harm any of the plants in my garden. This will be my go-to method from now on.
