    There were several threads on White Feather a few years back - I don't think anyone who grew it was pleased with it ... this one stuck in my mind ...

    If Bowdens can't grow it then I probably can't either image

     Funnily enough White Feather is the only hosta I've ever had that has just given up and died on me.  I've got loads of others which all thrive.

    As for personal choice for the compost heap it has to be Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia.  I absolutely loathe the plant for no logical reason.  I'd also put hyacinths in, and that is because I can't stand the scent.

    Radicchio.  Tough as old boots and bitter as gall.
