Impatiens. Los Angeles. Mine get eaten at ground level, not by slugs. What does this?

0 1
Some pest gnaws at them at ground level, then they fall over and die.  I can't see any pests and not slugs as no trails.

What is causing this?  My nursery (armstrong) doesn't have a clue, they just keep selling me new flats of them.
