What is putting holes surrounded by my hostas?


Slugs they love hostas and rhubarb. I use the beer in a lid deterrent.


slugs (check at nighttime with a flashlight)
earwigs (check lower than the mulch around your plant)

I had both. They were totally destroyed previously I figured it out.

The Ohio State University Extension Office have a Fact Sheet on Hosta that is very informative also:

There are some hosta that are slug resistant ... you might check into planting some of these once you own the pests under control:
