Our daffodil flowers are being eaten/shredded , any advice?

It is only the flower heads not the stalk or leaves .I cannot see any bugs or any other signs.

It would appear that critters from the neighborhood enjoy the fresh vegetation. These can be anything from deer to cats. This years crop is probably already gone. If there are any left, and if you have any other tubular plants left to bloom, you will have to spray them. In fact any flowers you plan to plant will have to be sprayed as well. I always go back to my favorite resturant so do our friends in the wild.





In front of your planting garden you can place shredded clothing, not washed, under the mulch. I would then make a solution of tobasco/chili type sauce at one to a pint of water and mist the buds and leaves. They will eat once but not twice. This will also detract other common insects from eating your plantings. Good Luck.
Reply:I have the same problem and mine is caused by rabbits


you can fence of your garden or get rid of the rodents


good luck
Reply:It may well be slugs. You can put out snail and slug bait and see if this works.
