Slug Resistant Hostas: Take Your Pick!

Abiqua Drinking Gourd
The thick, leathery leaves of Hosta ‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’ turn slugs and snails totally off!

I’ve had a few requests to publish a list of hostas that are slug- and snail-resistant. The problem is that there are literally hundreds of them! I simply put together a list of the more popular varieties. The next time you go to a garden center, why not bring the list with you? It will make your hosta-shopping so much easier!

Note that all cultivars listed are hardy to zone 3 .
