Are there ANY flowers that snails and slugs really hate? I have pleanted to tubs of Petunias only to come down this morning to find them destroyed! The Geraniums are all intact.Thanks.

They don't eat perennial geraniums of any variety. For tubs try fibrous rooted begonias or ageratums. You can try putting copper strip round your containers - slugs don't like crossing copper. If the tubs are stood on a gravelled area slugs will hesitate to cross it.
