Which plants would you relegate to the compost heap... for good?

Any plants you just don't see the appeal of? Hosta 'White Feather'.... just looking at it makes me feel a bit funny and want to reach for the sequestered iron plant tonic.

Any and every euphorbia including poinsettias.
Plasticky looking begonias and impatiens.
Petunias cos they're sticky and felty when you dead head.
Forsythia - especially when grown next to flowering currant which can also go in the heap.
And, it goes without saying surely, any of the bl**dy weeds growing where I haven't left them in a wild corner for insects.........
I agree with every single one of the above.
spiraeas, all of them, bedding plants, Salix 'Flamingo',
that's a start

Ceanothis, forsythia, that creepy black grass, acuba anything with lime green leaves and pink flowers together - separate is fine.
Will, I've never seen that hosta. I must get one!
Really B3 - looks like it should be in a funeral parlour.
also add lime green/yellow leaves with pink flowers as B3 suggests
and that spready geranium with yellow leaves and purplish flowers
and yellow leaves generally
'Blue' roses

Have many species of Euphorbia, I love them.
Agree re most bedding plants though, although I like some of the new Coleus.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
I love euphorbias
Coleus will be on the heap
