The foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) got aphids which made my roommate very sad because it was flowering prolifically and attracting all kinds of friendly neighbours. I used horticultural oil but they eventually came back. Then I doused it a couple times a week for a couple of weeks but I just couldn't get rid of them permanently so I removed the plant and began looking for replacements.
I couldn't resist this Origanum majorana (Marjoram) with its bright green foliage and delicious aroma. It also provides a contrasting ground coverage to a small Rosemary shrub (Rosmarinus officinalis).
This last addition was an essential requirement for both my roommate and I as we use this as traditional medicine. Salvia apiana (White Sage)
