Title says it all. I have 3 half baskets containing pansies and the
petals are being eaten. In previous years I have used violas and
noticed a little damage but this year about 10% of the flowers are
affected. The baskets are mountedon brick walls and are in full sun for
the morning (east facing). I am in Fareham on the south coast

Slugs/snails?

Thanks for the suggestion but I think it is unlikely. The baskets are
about 4ft above the ground with no slime trails and it is only the
petals which are eaten, it seems starting from the outside

FWIW, I often remove snails from the chains of my hanging baskets! Don't assume that because something is hanging on high it is immune!
