My only experience with Gazanias was early in my gardening life, when rabbits ate them just hours after I planted.

Something has begun eating my flowers - and I don't think it's an insect as there's no sign of any of the usual suspects. The flowers appear to have been eaten whole, virtually overnight, with just a few tidbits left behind. If there were rabbits in my immediate area, I'd point my finger in that direction but I've never seen them here. I'm wondering if the raccoons or the squirrels have gotten developed a taste for them. I put down non-toxic repellent and no flowers have been eaten since but I'm keeping watch.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
