Cooperative Extension: Garden and Yard

What are some shade-friendly flowering plants or shrubs that slugs don’t like?

Question:

I am looking for suggestions on shade-friendly flowering plants or shrubs that slugs do not like. I’m open to all colors and annuals or perennials.

Answer:

I have two resources to recommend:

UMaine Cooperative Extension Fact Sheet #5036 “Slugs” (for identifying and managing the slug population in your garden)

Univ of MN Cooperative Extension resource page for Slugs (comprehensive slug management, plus commonly recommended slug-resistant plants)

Good luck, and happy gardening.
