Hi ladies. 

I have planted many double impaients in pots and have them in a shady/filtered sun location under our Maple trees.  

This morning many of my flowers have been eaten by something.  

I thought earlier this spring there was a conversation on this forum about various deterrents to use to keep the animals away.

I have no idea what is eating them.  

My TSV Planter Box with the shelf below  was essentially cleaned out.  

Did someone mention a product called Pesky...something???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably rabbits. Not sure what to recommend. Good luck.

1. Rabbits or deer. Deer LOVE impatients.

The only thing I have found to work on keeping rabbits and  other animals from my hostas:

PLANTSKYDD which can be found at lawn and garden centers.  It ran about $19/bottle.  You must rinse out the hand held sprayer when done or it will dry and become clogged.  No bad smells...the color should disappear after a rain.

Good Luck.

Thank-you for the replies all! 

Yes it was the PlantskyDD I that I was trying to remember from a previous thread.  I am going to get some asap!

Sadly my flowers had only been planted a couple of weeks, due to our cold spring here in the midwest.  

Thanks again !

How about some low bunny fencing?

After at least a dozen years of planting Sunpatiens, the deer started eating them a couple of years ago. I'd read that deer won't bother plants if they encounter a barrier, so I bought some mini tomato cages from Amazon and put one around each plant. It's worked so far. 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

Yes.  For me, at this time of year, it's the rabbits.   They eat all the new spring growth.

Rabbits enjoy ours.
