Doronicum orientale (leopard's bane)

Whenever I plant a doronicum here, it's eaten by slugs/snails within 48 hours :-(

My word that is early!! ours are not even out of the ground....

Gosh, nice to see though a reminder of whats to come !

Hi Andrew, well I never, the snails never touch these, probably too busy elsewhere devouring other plants.

DA - all the gardening books say doronicums are "trouble free." I think our snails have different tastes from anywhere else in the country.

They must have Andrew, snails and slugs thrive here but I've never seen any nibbles on these.
