mine have never been eaten

when mine arrived from the nursery there was a slug having a quiet munch. so yes they will be eaten but they are not the first choice, that goes to delphiniums and hostas in my garden.

i think i must be lucky, but they do have a picnic else where

slugs have eaten mine in previous seasons. I have found that if you can protect them for the first few weeks until the shoots are about 6 inches high the plant becomes less attractive to the slugs
