What's eating my fragrant bouquet hosta?

Fragrant Bouquet Hosta suffers the same pest pressures as the genus — slugs are the dominant threat, chewing holes through the broad, fragrant leaves. Deer find hostas irresistible and may consume entire plants. Vine weevil larvae occasionally damage roots. Slug pellets, repellents, and nematode drenches cover most scenarios.

Ragged holes and scalloped edges on leaves, slime trails on soil and foliage Use iron phosphate pellets; set out beer traps; tidy mulch away from crowns to reduce hiding spots

Foliage and flower scapes browsed, sometimes completely to soil level Apply deer repellent spray to leaves and surrounding area; fence the bed if deer pressure is high

C-shaped white larvae eat roots, causing sudden wilting and crown death in summer Drench soil with beneficial nematodes in August–September; inspect roots when repotting
