Delphiniums - Dead!
Asked on 3 May, 2008
Hi there - three healthy delphiniums plants, despite my best efforts, have been attacked by slugs - all the leaves gone - is there any point trying to rehabilitate these plants?!!

The new shoots of delphiniums are like caviar to slugs

As are those of perennial Lobelia, come to think of it.

yes - i think they'll come back - just make sure they don't get munched a second time!

Brilliant thank you - I am going to relocate them tonight! Will keep you all posted :)

Hi, lobelialover! I, personally, think there is hope, at this time of year. This recently happened to my Rudbeckia in the border. They were reduced to bare stalks with tell-tale silver trails all around. I dug them up and replanted in pots, relocating the pots in another area. just 3 weeks on, and the pots are a mass of green leaves again! Can you, perhaps, do same?
