<< Andrew, that is a classic cutworm sign.
Joyce, I'm wondering if my H. 'Cinnamon Sticks' that was leveled in the
last couple of days may have actually been attacked by cutworms instead of
rabbits. The first day, I found three leaves simply cut and lying on the
ground and I suspected rabbits as the culprit. The next day, whatever was
doing the damage nailed the final two leaves that remained. I'm "going to"
put down some bloodmeal to attempt to scare off the rabbits, but how does one
find this elusive cut worm? Is there any tell-tale evidence, other than the
leaf that is left behind as a sign of their dastardly deed?

Rabbits come along and snip things off at the stem. It could be anything
from shoots on a tender bush to the blooms on heuchera. It looks like
someone took pruners and clipped the stem. They may or may not consume some
of the leaf. N.
