Any slug proof Winter Bedding plants?
Comments

I have pansies and violas in pots. They do get slightly munched but not enough to not make it worthwhile putting them in Primula/primrose are slug resistant and give a good bit of colour, and I also put wall flowers for the early spring colour and scent, and gaultheria for Christmas red berries. Cyclamen are slug proof.
And don’t forget your bulbs, – snowdrops, crocus, et cetera
I just like a mixture of stuff in my pots to keep it interesting.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.2 -
I use sheeps wool for tender plants.Pick up from around the fields and wind it round the plants. You can get the pellets, cost a bit but they do work all winter.I do a pot of bulbs for Spring when it's still too cold for geraniums. Iris Reticulata, Crocus and such.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

Heathers, pink and white, cyclamen and a bit of evergreen.Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.0
