Most overused plant

[amid chaos]

What is the most overused plant in your area?

It has to be impatiens here.

I agree Amid. They probably are the most overused plants, but there's a reason. Easy to grow, flower all summer and your yard always looks great when you put in lots of impatiens.

They may be overused but this gardener likes impatients.

Ooooh, I'm not sure! I'd have to say liriope (sp?) but that is just the first thing that came to mind.

Shrubbery such as junipers. I swear everyhouse in our area has a wide range of shrubbery for the foundation plantings.

Around here, forsythia. It's just everywhere.....in yards, along the highways....just everywhere. Looks nice in bloom, though.

When I saw this topic, my first thought was hostas. It seems everyone has hostas in their yards . Yes, I do have them, too!

 

[sorcerormickey]

I think for perennials, its definately hostas. They're everywhere....sun, shade, wherever. For annuals, either impatiens or marigolds...enough with the marigolds!!!!!

Impatiens here too Amid, but ditto what Mamu said, they work! Lots of people seem to grow Dusty Millar in the summer, every second house has some. I've never used it.
