Attractive Plants Never to Be Grown in Your Yard Â
Have you decided what plants to put in your yard? Whether it is low maintenance or high maintenance, there are just so many options. You can ask your residential landscaping contractor for some advice. However, if you plan to have a relaxing and beautiful view, you should avoid including some plants. Here are some plants that you should avoid having in your backyard:
Mint
These scented leaves grow up to two feet high which is a perfect height for covering wide spaces. They are known to take over and destroy gardens, lawns, and even homes. Their shape is also perfect for covering ugly and inconvenient structures. As a result, you should just stay away from this plant.
Japanese Barberry / Berberis Thunbergii
These attractive trees are more prevalent in areas where tick counts are higher. Due to its density, thorniness, and shrubbery, mice have free reign to breed, which increases human exposure to ticks and their diseases.
Wisteria
For a gardener who likes flowers, with their magnificent, cascading purple blooms is alluring but watch out! Its root system can cause shoots to emerge far from the primary plant, enveloping nearby trees, bushes, and other vegetation. It can live for hundreds of years and needs significant trimming each year to stay in check.
Castor Bean
It is an annual with big leaves and clustered flowers that grow quickly and is quite striking. However, this amazing plant’s entire body is deadly, especially the seed. Given that it is toxic to both small pets like dogs, cats, and rabbits as well as larger animals like cattle, sheep, and horses, it is not a smart choice for a gardener who shares the property with animals.
