inch piece stolen from a big garden!

What plants have others regretted introducing into their gardens?


Can't believe no one's mentioned mint. It broke out of a concrete
planter and was everywhere before we'd seen.

Marjoram is quite a pain in the herb bed.

Wormwood! If you let it seed.

I also didn't mention Bowle's golden grass, but for very good reason.
Having started my gardening days brought up on Margery Fish I planted
just one plant of BGG. Now I have little golden seedlings popping up
every where, and I save each and everyone. I love it and I love the
dried seed heads.
Sorry it would never qualify for addition to my list of plants not to
plant, on the contrary.
I do agree about mint though, the idea is not to ever let it escape its
planter.
