She's talking about things like primroses and red campion. They're not
going to cause a problem to neighbours. Less than, say, Leycestria
formosa, some of the euphorbias, cotoneaster etc belonging to her
neighbour will cause to her.

Why do you think cotoneaster will cause her problems? I have one which I
keep trimmed back but I hadn't thought of it in that way

I was thinking of C horizontalis which sends out suckers and can cover
large areas of ground if not watched like a hawk. I planted a small one
in my front garden, and last year removed about 3 sq m of it.

It seeds itself too. I do like it (as do the bees), but you do have to
keep an eye on it or it gets everywhere!
