Clematis 'Mrs Cholmondeley'

Beauiful love the shape how did you protect the stems? they eat mine too.

Ah-ha! I get a plastic bottle, cut the top and bottom off, slit it up the side and place it round the stems...then I tie string round it to hold it in place. If the dratted snails try to climb up, I smear vaseline on the bottle!

How crafty is that? The bottle is hidden by the plants in front of the Clematis.

lol Very crafty lol thank you I ll try it I could feed a thousand hedgehogs with the snails and slugs I ve got they even climb up to the roof of the house, don't know what they think they ll find there.

I just HAD to do something to save my Clematis - they ate a whole plant - a white alpina! I hope that's safe, too.

She,s a born survivor Spritz and very beautiful worth all the efforts you have gone through to save her from those dreaded slugs....

SNAILS!!!! Janette - they drive me CRAZY!! Sorry - not shouting at you - just outraged by the thought of the monsters!

LOL I did mean snails ....honest

I believe you.....:-))

I hope mine will survive then...:~((
Lovely colour this one B. I'm off to search for pop bottles.........

A super solution to the problem. An idea I'll tuck away and hope I never have to use it for that purpose.

Oh, I wouldn't wish an invasion of snails on my worst enemy! (if I had one - lol)

Another beauty Spritz...:>)
