Hundreds of neat little holes in both leaves & flowers. Can’t see any wildlife on the plants or compost.

Seems to be only (or mainly) these 2 plants in this pot.

Help!

Probably flea beetle damage - www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=510

Thanks, Nan Smile

Not much I can do then? I don’t want to use chemicals as I’m getting loads of bees, hoverflies, butterflies etc
