peony rosebuds

and how to stop it? I sprayed the plant with bug killer when I discovered 3 of the buds were damaged but since then another two have been infected. Is this a peony or a rose Heddy? I think it might well be earwigs. One trick is to fill a smallflowerpot by Heddy52

Clematis for Breakfast

it is only one that is affected. The same thing happened last year so I've yet to see it flower. Georgial - any chance of a photo? It could be earwigs - they are partial to clematis flowers. You can't eradicate them, but you can catch them in newspaper by GeorgiaI

Osteospermum

heads are also dropping Waterlogged roots can cause die-back so that's a distinct possibility. You could try giving them a good balanced feed in case they are short of some nutrient. Or could it be earwigs eating the tenderest bit of the stem? It by John Reynolds

Dahlia Perennial Plant

regularly but could anyone suggest a bug spray that I can buy from Tesco/B & Q that will kill whatever is eating my beautiful plant many thanks for your help! Dahlias suffer from two main pests-slugs will eat the soft growth and earwigs will eat the flowers by flossy1970

Dahlias

, the holes look like the wings of a lacewing. Thanks A guess -not slugs or caterpillars you say, bit early for earwigs they usually go for flowers-have you any pigeons that visit the garden?-they do go for brassicas-is the damage overnight or in the daytime by mdw84
