G would be a gardenia smelling sweetly
A hollyhock that didnt get rust would be nice or in fantasyland a hibiscus, big, red and blousy, none of your wimpy uk ones, I want a hula girl hibiscus. Would I look good in a grass skirt?

I wasn’t sure with the letter I . Because I’d completely forgotten about iris. So after a quick google. I discovered incense cedar.
I know really do want one of those in my garden.

Iris for me. The tall Bearded Iris. Used to have a big clump of dark maroon coloured ones in a previous house but forgot to bring some with me when we moved. I'd like some of those again please

I’m going for Ivy, a variety that’s easy to remove when it gets out of hand.

From memory is think it's a house plant with trumpet like flowers, I'm off to Google to see if my memory is right. (Not very likely  )
PS mental image was correct but perhaps I was thinking of gloxinia
