Answer
Hi Ken,

First of all let me thank you for using this service. While my answer is totally free to you, I do appreciate gratuities as I am on a long term disability and a fixed income. ere is your answer from my best experience:

There is no need to send a picture as I have had the same thing happen to many plants in my garden this year. I had then hit Asters, a whole Sunscape Daisy plant and others.
The solution that i am trying is moth balls assuming that they keep off more than just moths. Give it a try.

I hope this answers all your questions and feel free to ask me again. Please consider the following ONLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

My wife is selling Avery Type labels that will allow you to stick onto packages and record the data of seeds that you may be sending to somebody or that you may be taking from a garden, even your own. The label allows for data like Name, Sun, Type (Perennial, Annual,etc), Planting Depth, Seed  Year and where you got them. I am selling them for $4.00 Canadian or $3.00 American for 60 labels. Shipping is included. Provincial Tax only if you live in Ontario. Great for you or for a gift to another gardener.
