What's eating my revolution hosta?

Revolution Hosta faces the classic hosta pest lineup: slugs and snails are the primary enemy, riddling leaves with holes. Deer are a serious threat in gardens where they roam. Foliar nematodes can also damage leaf tissue. Consistent slug control with iron phosphate bait and deer deterrents are the headline defenses.

Irregular holes punched through leaf blades; most severe in cool, wet spring weather Apply iron phosphate slug pellets at planting time and again in spring; hand-pick nightly

Plants browsed to near ground level, especially in spring and when other food is scarce Use tall fencing or reliable deer repellent sprays; plant in more protected garden areas

Angular, brown streaks between leaf veins that follow vein boundaries; foliage looks scorched Remove and destroy affected leaves promptly; avoid overhead watering; improve air circulation
