I always thought the purple coneflower was deer and rabbit resistant. Is it really? The plant in the picture is only one of the 5 damaged over just one night. I cannot think of another animal that are big enough to eat so many plants overnight. Do groundhogs eat plants? Sorry about the question that might sound stupid to some of you. I never lived so close to nature until 2007 and had very little experience with plants being eaten by something...

By the way, the joe pye weed was also half eaten.
