I used slug pellets (the cat friendly ones) but still slugs manage to eat my plants and veg.
I have a few plants which slugs & snails and even caterpillars will not touch. I though that I will help fellow gardeners with my experience.
Slug & snail resistant plants:
- Heuchera - I have one with purple leaves and which flowers white. Slugs will not eat it at all. Also no problem with caterpillars.
- Periwinkle - very good plant for shade. My plant now flowers. Not any sort of problem with this plant
- Muscari Hyacinth - This pretty little plant is quite happy in my garden and there are no any signs of being eaten. It is surprising as my other hyacinth are completely gone
- Euphorbia - another good plant for shade. Very resistant to everything. Top leaves looks like a flowers.
- Cornish lily (Nerine) - this is autumn flowering plant. I have big clumb of them with lots and lots of long leaves. Slugs and snails will hide there but not any damage to the plant.
- Rose - I have very pretty and very illness resistant rose. It is "warm wishes" and flowers salmon pink - purple pink. The colour changed with age of flower.
- Campanula - this plant will grow anywhere. When in good sunny spot it can grow quite quickly. Has pretty blue flowers.
- Rosemary - this herb is very slug resistant. Only it can get the rosemary bug. You will know if your plant has it as new leaves will be nibbled off.
- Chives - I like this herb. It looks good in my garden and also you can have it in the sandwich. :-)
- Curry plant - with its pale leaves is very nice looking next to the dark plants
- Parsley - this herb will survive anything. Also looks good in winter. I have two types of them. One with curly leaves and other with flat.
