Slug resistant plants

Though I'm told I have a lovely garden, one criticism is that there's a lot of foliage and not many flowers. My problem is a slug population of plague proportions and a hatred of killing things. So I tend to only grow perennial flowers that are resistant to slugs. So far I've only accumulated this sad little list. Can anybody add more flowers that don't go munch in the night.


I defy you evil slug!
Lychnis coronaria
Schizostyllis coccinea
Sedum
Verbena.bonariensis
Perennial wallflower
Foxglove - munched but not destroyed
Primulas - muched but not destroyed
geranium
Echinacea
Roses

I am slug fodder
Lupin
Coreopsis
French Marigold
Hosta
Aubretia
Morning Glory

 

Can I add:
Pulmonaria (lungwort)
Asters
Crocosmia
spirea (shrub)
My Cornish slugs don't eat these. If I think of any more I'll let you know.

 

Can I add:

Slug Fodder

Rununculus
Tagettes
Clematis (snails)
Holyhox (snails)
Sunflowers (snails)
Delphiniums

They never go hungry in my garden!

 

Thanks folks

Any more would be welcome.

Funny, I was musing about Crocosmia today and thinking it might be a likely candidate. I'm glad to hear that it is.

 

Like your site hellen!!!

 

Thank you.

 

I thought I'd spice up this thread with pictures.

I'll catch up on the rest later.

Any more will be very welcome, I plan to be planting up by at least 2010.

 

Sorry NurseWhen I just saw this. You mention crocosmia. Does it matter if slugs/snails like them? I was given about 10 crocs a couple of years ago. I now have 10,000. I'm thinking of planting them round other plants in the hope that the slugs only see them and not the valuable ones. :D :D

 

I thought that the Crocosmia were on the 'I defy you evil slug' list, which makes them very desirable in my garden where entire plants vanish overnight and I can't sleep for the sound of munching.

Are you saying they should be on the fodder list?

This time round, I'm trying to save myself the heartache and wallet ache that I suffered in my back garden where expensive new plants were regularly reduced to skeletons within hours.

 

Oops, I double posted

I'd also like to add Gaura to the defy list

 

I've just found a site that lists slug resistant shrubs. Huzzah!
