I have a row of herbaceous Lavateras. As these die back to ground in
winter I'm thinking of putting some spring-flowering bulbs in between
them - ditto for the parallel rows of hollyhocks (also herbaceous) and
Hibiscus syriacus (deciduous).

Which types of bulbs are less attacked by slugs and snails? (I gave up
on Iris sect. Reticulata 10 years back 'cos the slugs got them.)

Daffodils and snowdrops are reasonably OK - daffodil flowers get a bit
nibbled but they do get as far as flowering. Small tulips too. Grape
hyacinth have been good for years, but got well and truly clobbered this
spring.

Small iris hopeless, as you have found, as are crocus (though they seem
OK in grass), scilla and chionodoxa.

Cyclamen and Anemone nemorosa/blanda seem OK.
