I bought this beautiful sunflower plant, that was about 20 inches tall, four nice flowers and several buds on it. I planted it and the next morning when I saw it, it was a mutilated mess – Flowers shredded and thrown amok! Leaves full of holes, resembling some sort of bug – but it was so fast, overnight, and the flowers were just gnarled! What could have done this so quickly? I live in Canada, we have Rabbits, skunks and squirrels, woodpeckers and crows (Ive had problems with Crows before, but not to this extent – this plant was still tiny.
