What's eating my yarrow plants

15 years ago

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I plant 4 yarrow plants in my garden this past spring. They have been doing beautifully up until about a week ago. They are now about half of the diameter that they use to be, and it looks like something is eating them.

Do rabbits eat yarrow? I've tried to find info on the web, but I haven't had any luck. I haven't seen any rabbits, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think they do. Someone(thing) ate the flower buds off mine last month and they appeared to be bitten. No deer so I think you are correct, a bunny out for dinner,.
