Somewhere in one of her books, all of which I just re-read so I can't tell 
you which, Elizabeth Lawrence says I. unguicularis is highly prone to being 
devoured in the bud stage by slugs whick lurk in the foliage bases. 

Elizabeth Lawrence of North Carolina, whose best known book is A Southern 
Garden, was a landscape designer and plantswoman extraordinaire who wrote 
specifically for gardeners in what amounts to USDA Zone 7-8 in the 
mid-Atlantic/southeastern USA, roughly from Maryland down. Her books are much 
esteemed both here and abroad.
