What flowering plants do you consider Naff?
All a matter of taste, but it’s interesting how some plants fall out of fashion and are considered naff - dahlias for a long time (am still trying to persuade OH they are not, which prompted this thread) Gladioli still on the cusp? Chrysanthemums are coming back in, I recently read. I do admit to a slight shudder over the word ‘bedding’. Obviously you should plant what you like, but what are your top naff plants you would avoid like the plague?

Can I add hanging baskets to the mix?
Salvia Hot lips. Of all the lovely salvias, folk still buy that mutant freak (IMHO ) of a plant.
Have always loved Dahlias, such vibrancy.
As in all things, don't follow fashion, set it.

She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver

Forsythia
Ceanothis
Those big marigolds (I think they're called African)
Dahlias or petunias with definite stripes.
Michaelmas daisies
Salvia hot lips
The irises that grow from bulbs but not the ones with the leopard markings in the middle
Anything bipinnate that I've come across -horrible scruffy things.
Acid green or yellow flowers
That'll do for now.

Ivy, holly, and hostas, yes please to variegation.
