We have slugageddon in back garden, anything from garden centre is demolished overnight (nepeta, salvias, coreopsis etc + more). I tend to slug pellet around them when first down to give them a fighting chance, but i think the issue is more just fresh new leaves and optimal growing conditions.
Once in for a bit, the plants seem to "bitter up" and even completely stripped plants come back if growing conditions are ok. Seedlings/small plants are buggered though.

Fucking snails/slugs.
Got around to planting up the spare salvias from that bundle deal and the two smallest (and quite interesting) ones have been eaten up. I've now put a cover tape covered pot over them with some copper mesh for good measure.
Stupid of me for not growing them up bigger in pots first. But I wanted to tidy up a seating area which had a sort of ugly wire stand thingy.
Forgot to take a before pic, but if you imagine chipped paint and a tonne of random shit that needed to go to the dump that's pretty much it.
Still needs a bit of finessing(sp?), but getting back to where it should be.
