I keep thinking of more to add when I think of the gardens I'm working in this week... Ceanothus, nothing I like about them which is odd because I love the colour blue.
Red hot poker which I have hated from the first time I set eyes on the things when we moved to a new house when I was 15. Fortunately my mother hated them too so I was free to go round the garden beheading them with a carving knife.
Hyacinths because I can't stand the scent either inside or outside.
Plenty of plants that do nothing for me but I don't actively dislike.
There are lots of plants that I wouldn't have in my garden (even if I had the right conditions) but few that I think look truly awful whatever the setting. One is red-hot pokers (it's the perpetually tatty-looking foliage as much as the flowers) and another is the hotlips-type white-and-something bicolour salvias (I love the single colours and more subtle bicolours like Dyson's Joy).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
@B3 , I've noticed the same one (or very similar) being sold as "Joy" so I guess someone agrees with you. For myself I don't have a problem with plants being named for the breeder.

All the others are fine. amethyst lips etc. but that red white combo sets my teeth on edge
