I want to buy some plants suitable for containers that are in a
sheldered spot near the back door of a terraced house.

I love hostas but snails get them. I was thinking of planting a variety
of bulbs but the pots look ugly when the plants die back. Can anyone
offer suggestions?


Sorry to be a pain but by sheltered what do you mean?
Sheltered from the sun? the wind? the rain? the North?
Please explain and we will be able to make an informed suggestion.

Have you tried putting vaseleine around the tops of your pots? The slugs
should slide right off
