  • Hostas v Slugs

    I read that slugs won't eat Rodgersia, so planting these around your Hostas might be worth a try





    'Maurice Mason' has attractive foliage with large, deep green, textured leaves that are pinkish-bronze when young. These are topped in midsummer by tough branching pinkish-orange flower heads.Rodgersias are striking plants for a damp border in light shade or a moist spot at the edge of a pond. The plants are useful for growing towards the back of a moist border where they are partly shaded by other tall plants. They have a long season of interest as the flowers last well on the plants for a long time.

    Got to be worth a try

      I've grown hostas in a very large pot for the past few years and I invested in some of the copper tape from the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales. Excellent, no slug damage at all, well worth it.
