Looks like slugs. Put some snail bait around and it'll get rid of them.
Also, your purp looks to be planted too deep, the rhizome should be exposed a bit otherwise you could run into rhizome rot.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

A shallow saucer of beer will also trap slugs. Use cheap domestic stuff, they aren't picky.
