Was pulling up Houttuynia only yesterday! And some Carex. And bindweed (although that isn't even allowed on compost heap!). And Alchemilla Mollis (like a bit on path edge but on my terms). I don't really like garish Fuschias but I tolerate mine just because they are healthy and slug-proof (bet they don't even rot down they so bullet-proof!)
a friend gave me on and it sat on the worktop in the utility room for about 2 months before I decided it was dead enough to put in the bin. I didn't even dare compost it.
We had a thread like this before and I was amazed by the plants people didn't like. I'm amazed again! I like most of the plants mentioned. Topbird, how could you not like daffodils? I like most plants and flowers, but I agree about coleus, not that keen.
But no one has mentioned yellow lamium. I will admit it has pretty leaves and pretty flowers, but it is such a thug. I had to dig up a flower bed this spring because it had taken over, even though I'd weeded it out last year.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I love most of the plants everyone else seems to hate.
white feather is one of my favourite hosta.
i have a large Salix flamingo which to me is beautiful
Euphorbia Is a staple of my garden for shady areas
I much prefer Spanish bluebells from english
I always say I am not going to do petunias each year but they are so pretty I always end up with them but I do dislike the sticky deadheading.
oxtalis has its own bed so it can invade as much as it likes
now my pet hate is carex pendula as I hate the way it seeds everywhere.
i am not to keen on anything double headed as they look to top heavy
glads never stay upright for me
and I am fussy which roses I like. Only the old fashioned ones and they must have a scent.
this is why I love gardening as there is something for evergone and I am not going to get upset is someone hates what I love as gardening and the world in general would be a lot poorer if we all grew the same plants and liked the same things.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
yes, deffo Houttuynia.
Dove, that's a thought - but what about budgie-keepers, diy enthusiasts (or conscripts) and fly swatters?
Hehe B3!

I'll board your doors up when you're asleep!
Houttuynia, looks great in my bog and I find it reasonably easy to control.

Horseradish. Never ever grow this in anything other than a pot (otherwise known as the bin).
