Why did the leaves on my marigolds disappear?

Disappearing, shredded, or disintegrating marigold leaves are often a sign of slug damage. Slugs can be especially attracted to marigolds, particularly in moist gardens and raised beds, where they can chew through foliage and leave plants nearly bare. Learn how to identify slug damage on marigolds, why slugs eat marigold plants, and how to control slugs in flower beds, raised beds, and vegetable gardens. Learn how iron phosphate slug bait can provide effective slug control and help protect marigolds and other garden plants. If your marigolds have holes, shredded leaves, or missing foliage, check for slugs before assuming you have an insect or plant disease problem.
