I’ve cut back my wave petunias and have them hanging under a tree in the front yard. Today I went to check on them along with my regular petuna and begonia. SOMEONE TOOK ONE OF MY WAVE PETUNIAS. At first I thought I’d gone over the edge when I say just two waves, I checked again to make sure then spoke to Roomey and sure enought SOMEONE TOOK ONE OF MY WAVE PETUNIAS. That’s unbelievable. Who in the world would do that? I had just transferred it from the plastic pot to a cocoa mat hanger. I’m steamed.
Cripes! I'd be steamed, too.
Welcome to the club!
It's the rabbits that are stealing mine. They're chewing them off at the base. The birds pick up the leftovers and carry them away to add to their nests.
I joined the Wave Petunia craze late, and will not frustrate myself with them again. First they require so darned much water (even with the water absorbing crystals in the containers) and Second they apparently are considered to be High Class Cusiene in the animal kingdom.
Next year I will plant something a bit less tastey.
Have you checked your container to be sure the roots aren't still there? Would the squirrils bother your containers? Anything is possible.
Gosh, I'd hate to think a human took your plants.
Several years ago, I planted some pansies. Within a week, almost all were gone. My reaction was the same as yours.
I was still mad when the next day I saw a squirrel carrying one off in his mouth.
I hate squirrels.
