Topic: Never Again. Ever!!!

[sarahr]

What have you planted that you will never ever, ever plant again? What has looked so innocent but completely taken over and you despair of ever getting rid of? What you recommend someone steer well clear off?

Message from a wise herb gardener that borrowed a small corner of his mums garden. Never plant comfrey and feverfew in "wild" soil. Feverfew has taken over a whole border and the comfrey has sunk roots so far that i'm expecting phone calls from Oz ;D with complaints. I still grow these as I like the medicinal properties these provide but have transplanted both to pots. The feverfew is in a butlers sink and the comfrey is in a deep wooden barrel. But I am still trying to rid them from my mum's border and I'm not succeeding.

That hydrangea "schizophrenic" or whatever it is called. Gorgeous if you have space but not for small gardens!!!

Well we didn't plant it, but some bright spark planted ground elder in my mums front garden as ground cover.  They have lived there for 34 years and have never ever won the battle!  Mum also has an acanthus beside her pond, and it is every bit as big as a gunnera, great, if your garden isn't the size of a small postage stamp and you actually want to look into your pond!  :o
