Plants I don't like (for no particular reason)
So gardners what plants don't you like?
I dislike allium, I always want to chop those smug blue permed heads right off.
Hydrangea - hate them, nobody ever dead heads them so they sit there scattered about the neighbourhood with dead heads all over them. Also you buy a nice pink one and it grows blue because nobody told me they are nature's litmus papers - crafty devils, luring you in with promises of pink flowers that never happen.
Hostas - look nice but slug bait in seconds so look like doilies all year round.
Lilies - nope, I don't want funeral flowers in my garden thanks and also they look like some kind of triffid.
Fushias - no idea why I don't like them but I just don't. I even bought some bushes this year in the hopes I would be a convert but nope......
Nasturtium - they look nice on the packet but in the beds they run riot and get into everything including climbing up the outside wall and through the double glazing on one occasion and then self seed to infinity.
Orchids - triffids from outer space, enough said.
I think that's it but there may be more.

Lou,Lou, Lou. tsk @ you.
My hostas don't look like doilies. but I do agree , ( sorry Lyn ) about fuchsias.
Can I just say I pretty much hate all summer bedding. Not the individual plants, but collectively. Blue lobelia, white alysum backed with Salvia blaze of fire( oh we've done this for almost 40 years now). I just want to napalm the whole lot.
Lou, are there any plants you do like?
Not a fan of Begonias, except some of the modern, small flowered varieties.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
nasturtiums running riot is a sign of good healthy soil. If you have somewhere with rubbishy soil, you'll get more flowers and less foliage.
Monkey Puzzle Tree's .... just no.
Yes punkdoc, I think I like almost everything else except as hostafan regimented summer bedding. I like free and easy summer bedding
Am currently crazy about anything orange in the garden, why have I never discovered orange before?
orange can looks stunning next to a really dark purple, or deep blood red.
B3, pretty much all heathers, in fact ALL heathers
