Ask a rabbit. All the ones we had seemed to prefer the fancy grass over the boring standard turf grass. They loved the wide blade varieties especially. I think the elbow type must have been a bit sweeter too.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Another one where I'm not sure if it should be curmudgeon or antidote. I planted a clematis 3 or 4 years ago and it totally disappeared 2 years ago. Not a sign of life and I even removed the label from the trellis. Got a replacement at the weekend so guess what I discovered when I went to plant it? That's right, a single vigorous stem where the previous one was planted. I'm sure they do it deliberately.
Lol, l have a Princess Diana that is the same, l thought it was dead, no sign of life in the stems. Just one dead looking stem left by now, so l thought "Right, sadly that's coming out". Went looking yesterday with a replacement and lo and behold, one strong green bud. You're right, they do know !
I never dig up old clematis. If it's dead, it's doing no harm, but they so often pop back up. I had one in a barrel with a climbing rose and it re-appeared 3 or maybe even 4 years after it "died".

Threatening plants with the compost heap is surprisingly effective as a horticultural technique. Once they know you aren't bluffing.
