Slug resistant hostas!

2 replies

Qwebec · 14/09/2015 17:53

My garden is full of slugs. This year I need to pick my tomatoes green to get them with out holes. Last year I had plants (black eyed susant and daisies) raided to the point there was nothing left.

But my hostas are intact. There are some hostas plants that attract slugs (the most popular kinds) and some that resist them. My favorite gardener posted a link of resistant plants and I thaught I'd share.

you will find a few pics if you go on his website (but the text is in french)

Monty D said all hostas can be slug resistant, they just need to be grow in their ideal conditions and they will out compete predation,

They are a nice looking plant and have a fair few in the bog garden of my pond, and theres no shortage of slugs/snails in that damp area

This is really helpful, thank you! I had noticed that some seemed more prone to sluggage than others - I suspect this has got something to do with them liking slightly different conditions so that some are more under stress by sun/cold etc than others. It's really useful to have a list!
