Invasive plants to avoid

exotically good Now Alstromeiria do not survive in our garden, too cold we think. Another set of plants to plant with caution are any of the perennial Helianthus. They can spread widely if suited. I'm fortunate in that my aquilegia Guiness or Magpie produce by christopher2

What are your top 5 plants you'd never want to be without - because you love them for themselves as individuals or because they're indispensable as part of a group? Thought it'd be interesting to hear what other people are mad about and maybe get by auntie betty
