We have a very large number of cyclamen of various kinds, self seeding even into the lawn. I cannot say that I have ever seen much damage from snails etc on them. Perhaps a few nibbled leaf edges, but nothing like the damage done to Hostas say. Now if you had asked about vine weevils and cyclamen.....................shudder.
