Plants I will not love again

**To see pics and additional info go to the top left of the blog and type the plant's name in the "search blog" box**

♠ Bolivian Sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia). Lovely IF you have the space for a gigantic shrub.
♠ Mexican Petunia (Ruellia brittoniana)...weedy!
♠ White Buttercup- Pic posted on June 6. Lovely but becomes very weedy in the end.
♠ Spider plant...in pots it is okay, but when planted on the ground...oh boy, talk about weedy!
♠ Potato vine, the regular fast spreading ground cover sold in stores. Impossible to ever get rid of!
