Hellebores

**"B. K. Earl" b*@xnet.com**

Hi All,

I just discovered 12 - 15 clumps of mature hellebores (at least a foot 
in diameter) nipped to within 3 inches of the ground.  The nipped stems 
and leaves had been left behind -- not eaten.  Each clump is totally 
decimated, with not a single leaf left.  Will these clumps survive?  
Since hellebores are supposed to be rabbit proof and I have no deer, 
what could have done this damage?

Betty
