Hi there everyone, we had a very wet couple of days here and my newly planted Hydrangea has been obliterated by pesky slugs. Do you think it has any chance of survival???? Thanks in advance
I think this is a case of wait and see. Keep it cleared of slugs and make sure it has enough to drink but isn't drowned and is in a sheltered spot and it stands a good chance of surviving.

No - dont bring it inside. It's a very small plant - it could do with growing on in a slightly smaller pot. It's lost in that one. It's not much more than a cutting. It's making it difficult for it to establish a good root system if you put it in too big a pot early on.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I don't find they get eaten by slugs, and we have more than you can shake a stick at. I think it's more likely to be caterpillars. Result's the same though
