Features of the Slug-Repellent Flower Mix

The slug-repellent mix is made up of 12 species of annual flowers, including borage, chervil, nasturtium, aromatic abyssinian, yarrow, and more. Each species has specific properties that make it particularly effective against slugs and snails:

• Borage: Its unpleasant odor repels gastropods.
• Chervil: Its rough and spiny leaves discourage slugs.
• Nasturtium: Its spiny stems and leaves make it an ideal choice for repelling pests.
• Aromatic Abyssinian: Its bitter taste and smell are disliked by snails and slugs.

These plants, sown from March to June, bloom from June to October, and can grow to heights between 30 and 70 centimeters when mature.

This mix is easy to maintain and resistant to diseases. Willemse experts recommend:

• Watering the flowers once they are well-established.
• Maintaining good airflow around the plants to avoid excess moisture and prevent fungal diseases.
