What plants have others regretted introducing into their gardens?

not so much a regret,
but some lily of the valley some how arrived in my front garden , i didnt plant it , but it has been spreading over the last 4 years , and i am really pleased that it has ,because i was stuck what to put in that patch that gets no sun and the soil is like builders sand.
it is really great ground cover , and when i get out of the car on the front drive the smell of lily of the valley is just great .
i love it so much that when i went to the malvern flower show last year, i got myself a varigated leaved one .
i have put that one in my back garden and i am hoping it will come back again this year , i am not sure but i think i might just be able to see a little bit of new shoot coming through , so i hope that varigated one does as well as the one in the front garden .
