You know what they say about weeds, "They're only a plant nobody wants."

Most weeds can be made to look attractive if the same care is applied to them
as the gardener applies to more desirable plants. Planting in patterns,
trimming dead foliage and shaping the plant a little goes a long way towards
making them look acceptable.

Instead of calling them weeds, maybe we should adopt a politically correct
term like "native plant". :-)
