I have had the same problem, which on further investigation turned out
to be cutworms.

I've also found what I believe to be cutworm on clematis and eating other
plants also. How did you get rid of them?

Eleni.

They like to lurk just under the soil, I usually find the whem I'm weeding. Other than that I look out for them when I'm on my nocturnal "scissors & Bucket" raids, looking for slugs and Vine Weevils.
