Phlox Tops Have Been Eaten

Question From: M. Whidden - Berrien Springs, Michigan, United States
Q: My phlox garden has been sabotaged. All the tops of the 2' plants have been cut off--- an inch or so just sliced off. This has never happened before.

A: My guess is deer are feeding on them. I use Plantskydd to keep them out of my garden. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
