Slugs found to be ‘beneficial’ for gardens – how to save your plants without killing slugs

One way you can do this is by planting flowers that slugs love in order to distract them from your prized blooms.

According to DavidDomoney.com, good “sacrificial” flowers can include daffodils, low-growing hostsa, ocimum basilicum (Basil), Dahlias, asters, petunias, delphiniums (Larkspur) and salad leaves such as lettuce, cabbage and spinach.

Surrounding your favourite flowers with these varieties will hopefully fill up hungry slugs before they are in reach.

Contrastingly, one can also focus on keeping plants slugs simply won’t enjoy.
