Do slugs and snails like lavender ?



the reason i ask is because i was thinking of planting lavender at
the base of my many clamatis dotted round the garden .


I am sick and tired of those snails climbing on to the stems of my
clematis and eating the stems, and they always seem to do it when
there is lots of buds ready to bloom , and they ruin it all.


i was thinking that if they dont like lavender they may stay away .

what do you think?

The main problem with the idea is that the two plants like almost
opposite things, I have seen it done at Longstock gardens where the other
Clematis viticella collection is but the results there are happy Lavender
and Clematis that come and go rather quicker due to the hot dry
conditions
