    I have a large number of pots, but it was only the ones containing heucheras that were attacked by vine weevil last year (all seven of them). I replaced the plants and these are the ones I'm going to be dosing this month. I suspect the same culprit got my polyanthus too ...

    Does anyone know which plants they prefer and which they avoid?

    Primula, heuchera, bergenia, hellebores.. image Anything I like.

    I've read that if you put a layer of gravel on top of your pots they don't like laying there. I'll try anything.

    I believe it's not favoured by your average vw grub.
