I think the ornamental cabbage plants are terrible :shock:  And gardinia smell dreadful.  We once had a plant come up- right by the step, so we always brushed past it and  it really smelt bad.  I was going on a coach trip to Dixter to see the gardens and I told another person on the coach about the plant- she asked if it smelt of BO and I said yes, she said it´s common name was Smelly Armpit and it was part of the Salvia family.  When we got to Dixter there was a hedge almost of it, right at the back of the flower bed so you couldn´t brush against it.  To get rid of the plant I had to cover the plant with a bin bag and pull it up then put the bin bag inside another 2 bin bags before the smell was masked :shock:

I agree about ornamental cabbages and I hate pampas grass, well in gardens that are too small for it that is

Another to add to the do not like list is the bizzy lizzie, nice in the house but in the flower bed/basket?? UGH

I'm not a fan of ornamental cabbage either, or pampass grass for that matter, and yes, there are a lot of plants, that irritate your nose, it was the flowering currant that had to go first, when we moved, as it smelled of urine to me any time I went outside, nearby it. I first did blame the dog for a long while. :oops:

Next is cotton lavender flowers, ooh. And then, I hate the stink of marigolds a lot, too.

There was a question on Gardeners' Question Time once "where is the best place to grow pampas grass?" to which the reply from one of the panel was "Argentina". I agree.

I hate crocosmia and it's been in every garden i have had. ( what's the chances of that :!: ) Luckily it's not on my allotment.

I love the red crocosmia Lucifer and my mate has a yellow one which looks fab. The common ones are a bit annoying when you get too many (like I have )  

[gus]

I only had the ordinary ones, maybe if I had some of the new varieties I would have liked them.

though I like smaller cordylines I hate the huge ones in the middle of a paved garden with no other plants around
Pampas grass should be outlawed :-)
as should rhododendron, a lot of species have caused so much harm to our woodland and park areas - though not all
geraniums, because I cant grow them indoors, but the wild ones have taken over my 2 beds where I just about to plant veg
emerald trees because I always kill them, though they are beautiful, in fact they were my first plant
cheese plants - erm cheesy :-)

Oh I agree! When we moved into this house, before I felt it was 'mine' I kept coming across roses in the undergrowth. I lost count of the thorns I got in my hands. Eventually I realised that it was my garden and I could take them out if I wanted! So I did!! Just left a few lovely ones, which I admit to tending to within an inch of their lives!

But no, not my favourite things.
