A low-maintenance garden is ideal for busy people and older gardeners. But some plants, due to their disease susceptibility, can be a nuisance.

This is what Chas Diyi writes about.

Here is a list of plants that are better not to plant on the site:

Goat Willow

This plant often suffers from rust, a fungal disease that manifests itself as a rusty coating on the leaves. If you don't want to deal with constant treatment of the goat willow, it may be better not to plant it in the garden.

Mallow (Garden Stock Rose)

Rust can affect the mallow and prevent it from growing and developing normally. This can lead to problems in the cultivation of the rose.

Phlox

Although this plant is very beautiful, it is often infected with powdery mildew. To keep it blooming and enjoyable, you will have to treat and care for it regularly. However, neem oil is an effective remedy for powdery mildew that can be used in the fall.
