16 Invasive Species Sold at Garden Centers You Should Never Buy

http://www.epicgardening.com/invasive-species-sold-at-garden-centers/

Note from Lois:  This is a list of invasive plants.   However, if you have an enclosed area in which to plant these, it works just fine, as long as the roots can't travel underground.

Over many years of gardening, we have also found tiger lilies, lamb's ear, vinca vine, and some herbs like peppermint, oregano, and garlic chives to be quite invasive. 


This is the list given in this article, but you'll want to go to this site to see the photos and additional information.
