 Afgelopen zaterdag hoorde ik van een kweker dat slakken graag bloemknoppen van liriope eten.  Daarom bloeit de liriope het ene jaar beter dan het andere. In jaren waarin er veel slakken zijn,  verschijnen er weinig bloemen aan de liriope.
Weer wat geleerd...

Around here, snails and slugs are a significant problem -- they can eat a tremendous amount of vegetation in a short amount of time! I love liriope as well, although earlier this summer, mine had an unfortunate and unhappy ending.

Donna, we used to have many snails in the garden. But now I don’t see them very often. This one decided to do a twirl while I was trying to take its picture.

Deb, I knew that snails eat liriope leaves, because I could see the damage. But it never occurred to me that they also eat flower buds. Leave a Reply. |
