A little too late for you now but starting now for next year save every can you get from the store that has the bottom the same as the top.
You know, the ones you can use a can opener on at both ends.
When you plant your plants plant them inside these cans.

Take the plant out of the container put the root ball through the can and plant it.
Then stick the can in the soil, it becomes your cutworm guard.

We did this every year.
Also the lights people have up in there yards draw the moth that produces the cut worm.
Now about the best you can do is put some foil around each stem.
