I love lily of the valley. Several times ove the alst few
years, I have
bought bulbs and planted them in vaious positions in the
garden. Nomally
were it is shaded. They never grow even when other stuff
aound them thrives.
Also lavender, which I adore.Grows for a year or two, then
gives up the
ghost.

I can't grow asters, zinnias or anything related to them. My
last aster types (Michaelmas daisy) were killed by aster
wilt disease about 10 or so years ago, and every subsequent
attempt effort has led to the plants dying after planting
out.
