    I'd love some Hostas (and so would the slugs). Are coleus as attractive to slugs as hostas?

    Alchemilla mollis has lovely, lime flowers that last a good while. Cut them back when they start to look weary and you can enjoy the foliage without the self seeding! The leaves are a greyish green when older, but newer leaves have a more lime-y tint.

    There are a few lime Heucheras too - Lime Rickey and Lime Marmalade are the ones I have seen, but there are others.

    I've not had problems with slugs and coleus, maybe a nibble here and there when they're young. I usually grow them but this year had a zero germination.
