Something is eating my Lobelia Cardinalis

Could it be slugs??

Mine have been devastated by slugs this year. The stems are eaten for several inches on one side, which weakens it and it snaps. For the last two years I had some trouble, but not as much as this year.

I did recently spray with a solution of Slug Clear and next morning there were lots of dead slugs on the ground. The bottle said that it is invisible to animals but I don't know if it is harmful if birds and hedgehogs eat the dead slugs. Our problem is that ground protection doesn't work - the slugs hang glide in from neighbouring tall plants!

Yes, I have found the same thing. Only one stem has suvived whereas the others have been eaten right through.

Me too! My new plant on the stream bank has two stems but only one is gorgeous - the other is a MESS!

...hang gliding slugs.......? 0_0

Slugs and snails love these!!
