anti-slug wildflower plants

[pwlynch]

We have a tremendous problem with slugs in our garden like many people.I have set aside a grassy bit for wildflowers,plants for bees,butterflies etc.I grew some wildflower plants from seed,were quite big and healthy when i planted them out but have been eaten by slugs.Last year I grew some honesty,had a nice little clump of them ,now are pretty much obliterated by the slugs.Can anyone tell me what wildflowers I can grow in my little patch that won't get massacred?On a positive note,last year I grew some fox and cubs and they have survived.

lots of flowering bushes are possible, or do you want stuff that dies down in the Winter ?

I don't mind really.I've read in several places that foxgloves are slug proof but not in my garden.I hadn't really thought of flowering bushes,which ones do you think are the best for attracting wildlife?

top of the list for bees in my garden is Ceanothus, though obliviously not a native and can be a bit tender.

Ones with fruit as well including some small trees - wild rose, broom, berberis, gooseberry, hawthorn, rowan, bramble, hebe - if you want to add some other conditions like time of flowering I'll do my best to oblige with other suggestions.

What about woody herbs like rosemary, lavender, sage and thyme?

Thanks for all the suggestions.I have some of the ones suggested in other parts of the garden,haven't got any wild roses though,so will get some.
