I am really annoyed by plants that don't perform like the picture on the packet. I bought some begonias. Meant to be white edged with pink. They are (very) red. Only four out of six actually grew into plants - two corms just sullenly refused to show so much as a leaf.  Last year I bought some gladiolus that were meant to be white with pink splashes. (You may get the picture that I rather favour pink shades). They were orange.
Geums that don't grow or flower. I bought half a dozen fairly expensive named varieties (all orange) last year, I think only two survived and they are only a couple of leaves. Anything that slugs love or doesn't want to grow in my garden!
They do need a lot of water @Lizzie27. I found one a few weeks ago that was lurking behind another plant and wasn't getting much water.. It was bone dry and just hanging on. I moved it and kept it watered. There's lots of leaves now.

I'm quite impressed by any seed that comes to faintly resemble the colour on the packet. I take it all with a a tablespoon of salt, unless I have grown them before.
