Are noble lilies snail-resistant?
All noble lilies areslug-resistant This finding is based on decades of observations in the bed. Noble lilies are probably not eaten by snails because they contain ingredients that are difficult to digest. Noble lizards (Impatiens New Guinea hybrids) are a breed of the busy lizard (Impatiens walleriana) and other balsam species. In the course of cross-breeding, bitter and tannins were transferred to the noble vines, which really spoiled the appetite of the voracious snails. With these measures you can increase snail resistance:
- Spray sweet edellies regularly with liverwort extract.
- Loose the soil weekly.
- Sprinkle the substrate thinly with coffee grounds.
Tip
Many flowers are snail-proof
Fighting snails in the bed becomes a minor matter if you mainly plant snail-resistant flowers. Snails can't stand these flowering plants: Bearded Carnation (Dianthus barbatus), Begonia (Begonia semperflorens), Fairy Mirror (Nemesia), Busy Lizzie (Impatiens walleriana), Men's Faithful (Lobelia erinus) and Purslane (Portulaca grandiflora). Student flowers (Tagetes) are ideal attracting plants for collecting snails in the morning hours.
