Snapdragons

Do them little things called slugs/snails like/love them please as Miss Jiff would like to plants some out today but not sure if they would be eaten by the you now who's

 

Not noticed the havin a go at them.

 

That's good, i'll tell Miss Jiff to plant them, if there do eat them will they get Snapdragon poisoning

 

No, the flowers will bite their heads off long before that

 

No problem with mine either.......not on the the slug and snail menu

 

I haven`t planted any snap dragons for years, but have a nice few every year, this years seem to have some really nice colours.

 

Thank you Zigs,Upsydaisy and Pamsdish

 

Your most welcome @Jiffy , not sure if they self seed or just overwinter well but I still have them in my garden and haven't sowed more for a good few years now

 

Them's related to Toadflax.

That was flowering when daughter #1 was born, close call on her name there

 

I have never, ever, planted them; and yet, in every garden I have owned, there is always one which pops up without planning, planting or design! I love it!!!!

Bit mean calling her Toadflax

 

I tend to think slug damage is something that happens to soft plants that have not been hardened off properly.
Having said that I do know that a very wet spell also makes the problem worse.

But I find in general with most plants, if they are very soft, from being grow indoors, then the slugs/snails will home in on them.

 

I resisted the temptation, even though they looked lovely in the autumn mist
