Plants you really wouldn't have in your garden

It's common buddleia for me. It's ok growing somewhere on a large field, but not in a small garden.
When I moved in I inherited a large buddleia tree, that was never cut. It looked so untidy, I got rid of that. And flowering is too short.

 

@Thevictorian I will definitely add the flamingo willow to my already long list .....forgot all about it

 

Not the plant's fault, but those heathers that are either painted or have glitter applied for Christmas .

I'm not keen on Sarcococca either. The plant sulks all year, is not a nice green and I can't decide whether the scent reminds me of damp towels or bin freshener .

 

Anything invasive, although that can be hard to identify. I've seen people complain a plant being invasive when it either struggles or just dies in my garden. I can't stand the smell of hyacinth, and loathe Red Hot Pokers for no logical reason. When my Dad came out of the RAF and we had our own first house, there were loads of them in the garden. My Mum didn't like them either so I beheaded them with a carving knife wielded like a sword. Very therapeutic.

 

In Order:

Ivy, Ivy and Ivy

 

Oh dear @Plantminded I like the Sarcocca - stays nice and green all year and I do like the scent too - just more evidence of how different we all are with are likes and dislikes
I also like the Red hot pokers but they do have to be in the right place,
Agree about the Borage - the bees love it but my skin isn't too keen .

 

Forget me Nots!!!

Anything variegated or with daisylike flowers.
Japanese Anemone, Ivy, big blousy Clematis, Salvia 'Hot Lips' and many more!

 

Perhaps a controversial one but hosta's is another one. I would like them and they look good when not ravaged by slugs but that's just an impossibility here and they aren't worth the work. I also don't get the collectoritis with them, they essentially all look the same but with a tiny tinge of difference in colour.

 

Yes, I really don't get the Hosta obsession.

 

Just been to Tesco and they had them on sale, £25 and they weren't very big.

 

Anemone japonica, Firecracker(forget the name), Forget-me-nots and of course Roses.

 

Ditched all my hostas - although some in unemptied lots are poking out. I'll let them get on with it unless I need the pots.
I replaced the lot with ferns. Interesting foliage to me but not to slugs.Not prone to disease. They tolerate neglect . No slug, snail hunts, most are evergreen. No regrets.

 

I forget you not of your dislike for Forget me Nots @longk.

Previously mentioned I believe. These and where they're sited.... I don't think they need or warrant being named.

 

Ye gods!! What utter vileness

 

I like them, but slug damage is indeed a very frustrating issue. They are much easier in pots. I also noticed a real difference between the ones with the thick "blue" foliage and the other ones.

Some of the variants are almost indistinguishable between them, yes. But if you compare a blue hosta to a variegated yellow one, they are quite different between them.

This is hosta "Love Pat" (photo found online). I recently bought 2 of them.



And this is on the most common hostas ("June"). This is also a photo I found online.
