Plants you regret planting

As much as I like the stuff I don’t really want to sit on it
Nice healthy looking ivy there though

 

I like Ivy too. Trying to encourage what little I have to grow

 

Ive got lots of ivy and even mile a minute, i don't regret it atm,

Ive cut the mile a minute right back this year i will loose it next year,

I have various climbers growing with it the dead branches are left and make idea supports for them, in a sense its doing me a good job creating a natural place for for my climbers to climb,

i wouldn't like to leave it unattended though

 

Give it time, before you know it, it will be under your gutter spreading across your favourite bench......and providing a perfect home for the birdies

 

I like ivy as well! There's some growing over my fence from the house behind mine. I can see it from my kitchen window. I was thinking of hiding a bird box for a robin in it as it's nice and bushy.

 

It seems as though it's a marmite of plants I love it but can understand why others don't

 

Has anyone got any views on 'ladies mantle' achemilla mollis? The plant of the year... back whenever it was...
It was a Chelsea favourite, lots of awards, ...
I wonder how much glyphosate has been used since?

 

New one for me , does not look very lovable after a quick Google ...

 

Absolutely that's why I love gardening sooooo much
Can you imagine if everyone decided this year is going to be an alpine year, next year we will have a rose garden, year after we all need dwarf conifers! It's our differences that make us gardeners, and as gardeners we embrace each other's ideas and knowledge, muddle them all up and come up with better ideas than we had and, therefore,better gardens

 

That is a good place for it, I can imagine it looks great. I do love the raindrops on the leaves it is a gorgeous plant, but for me, where it's planted, it has to go
It will live on in the patio though, I can't get the bugger out of the slabs

 

Ladies mantle can look good in the right place teamed up with salvia nemorosa / nepetaand for softening a path, but it self seeds like crazy and a pain to dig out. I won't have it in my garden, I get little seedling popping up in the veg patch not a clue where they've come from .

I pulled some Ivy out today from a dry stone wall, it seem a good idea a couple of years ago. The leaves are quite large and looked out of proportion with the wall. I replanted some of it on the wire mesh fence behind the shed, nice evergreen fence soon and the birds and bee's will thank me for it.

 

That's what I'm hoping for . I also think it looks good planted in a pot with Spring/ Summer bulbs - need a big pot though
