Plants that don’t blend well among others can be a problem. Roses are the worst offenders, prima donnas who are only happy in front of a highly limited chorus. They hate competition: lavender, catmint, maybe a few select salvias are about it. Again, fine in a big garden but less good if you need to maximise every square metre.
