Salvia and slugs

First time buying this particular bedding plant and two days in the slugs have had a feast.
That's one off the list for next year.
Don't usually purchase bedding plants for the borders have them mainly in tubs.
Just thought this year since I don't have much colour in the summer I would buy in.
My lovely Hostas of course are the main meal.

Can anyone suggest any bedding plants that don't succumb to slugs and snails.
