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!

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?
