I grow hellebores and ferns with no problems. I use pecan mulch and somehow think that keeps slugs away, although I don't look for them...but don't have damage either. I just put in a hosta I got at the RU, so we will see if the pecan mulch works there. I know I have snails in other areas, but seems like they aren't around with the pecan mulch. I also don't water very much. Twice a week at the most in the heat of the summer.
