Your garden is lovely @Busy-Lizzie . I like aucuba when it's used well and not as "municipal car park" planting and a lavender hedge can be a thing of beauty and positively buzz with happy pollinators.
I also like that tagetes @punkdoc - not neon and not double.

It comes up every year this debate , I used to have a list but I've mellowed now . Use to hate Euphorbia and others but I grow them now . Plenty of plants I wouldn't have mainly due to short flowering period.
I haven't changed my mind on heather though , especially the coloured ones yuck. I don't get why people buy kilmarnock willows either, so much better choices out there.
I like most of the plants that have been mentioned who said kniphofia true the foliage is ugly / messy but the flowers are great . I don't understand the gripe about bedding they out flower nearly every other plant, ideal for pots / baskets , I am not so keen on them laid out in bedding schemes though but thats not the plants fault. I have a feeling hostafan going to tell me he hates hanging baskets now
