My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Slug Hardy Varieties

16 years ago

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm so glad I found it!! I have a shade only garden that I love to put hosta's in. My problem is the dreaded slug! My plants are beautiful in June and early July. By early August they are chewed down to the stems. I could cry!! I have tried the little pellets that you put around the plant, but I would like to try something that is easier to apply. Any suggestions. Also are there any slug resistant varieties available. Thank you in advance.
