I have a cat that won't leave my houseplants alone. She tries to eat anything, including silk flowers. I have tried everything that I've read nothing works.

Perhaps your cat has a nutritional problem and tries to eat the plants to help herself. Please take her to your vet and explain the problem. The vet can check for nutrition problems and anything else that might be causing the plant eating.
Also-your cat can have a serious and possibly deadly reaction to a plant she has eaten, even a little, so remove all plants that she might try to eat until her problem is clarified by her vet.

She's been to the vet and got a clean bill of health, My plants have been moved.
Well you will have to be careful what plants you have in the house. There are good lists on the net that tell you which plants are safe. Two things I thought of, do you play with your cat so she can burn off some energy. And I keep a pot of "cat grass" (wheat grass seed from the pet store)for my cats.
I agree that the plants should be non-poisonous, such as spider plants. You can find complete lists of toxic houseplants online.
You say you've tried everything you've read, but you don't say what you've tried. So I could just be telling you what you've already tried. However, you may try spraying some plants with white vinegar to make them taste bad. Have cat grass available, too. That she can eat.
How are her poops? Does she get constipated, dry hard poops, or tend to have hairballs? If so, give her a hairball remedy twice a week. It is a laxative. You cat may be eating indigestible fiber to help move her bowels.
Also, what do you feed her? If it is a relatively cheap food like Purina, consider moving up to a food that contains more plant matter, such as peas or cranberry.
