I remember a number of years ago, picking up a box of tissue in the store that had a garden on it. When I saw the bunny, I put it back, thinking, "Whoever designed that is not a gardener."<br /><br />You are right.

The one exception for me -- related to your goutweed example -- is that I am fairly intolerant of growing (or selling) invasive plants that are known to escape from gardens and harm the local ecosystem.

Luckily it's confined to a relatively small area. I have to admit, though, that I really don't like Stella d'Oro Lilies. Not sure why, but if other people like them I have no problem with that.
