Joanna,
They ate the leaves off of mine-stripped them bare. Then I put up some wire fencing I had around the plants but I'm going to get something that they can't get through. One early morning I was looking out of my bedroom window into the backyard and don't ya know, there was a cottontail munching on the leaves!
I hope you have better luck than I did. I'm going to get some small fencing for the next coneflowers I plant and the ones that are left.
