I had three good clumps of Queen Victoria in different situations. One of them was eaten at an early stage. The other two were growing healthily and had reached two feet tall. I was looking forward to their display but a couple of days after my heart sank when I discovered only one surviving stem! The others, about two dozen stems, had been eaten from the top down. All the leaves had been eaten and also the red skin of the stems. I coudn't find anything on the remaining stems. Any one have any idea what caused this?

slugs and / or snails would be my No1 culprits Jo.
