Roses are red, violets are blue, and that plant will turn brown if you don’t take care of it. Of course, that’s not how the saying goes, but that’s exactly what leads to most plant-based deaths. Fortunately, in a world of Daffodils and other high-maintenance plants, there are some plants that don’t require your assistance often — or ever. Here are five of the most popular low-maintenance plants for your property:
Adorning a cloak of bright orange and yellow hues, the Marigold is the most popular self-sustaining plant. This little wonder only needs to be planted once, and the rest is history. You’ll also be able to enjoy its stunning fiery complexion in the autumn.
No, we’re not talking about your friend — we’re talking about the perennial herb! Just like the Marigold, Rosemary only needs to be planted once and then lightly trimed as you please to collect fresh herbs for cooking. The beautiful hues and fragrance of this plant will be on full display in the spring.
With a burst of bright yellow, this bush beams with pure joy! This prominent perennial (returns yearly) is simple to plant and admire. When the warm rays of sunshine disappear from the climate, the Forsythia turns a stunning shade of emerald green. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Bearing the name of a fictitious celebrity, the Dusty Miller is truly unique. Classified as an annual (once a year), this plant with leaf-like foliage looks as if it were dusted in snow. It’s the perfect low-maintenance plant to change up the scenery of your flowerbeds!
Sounding like the name of a low-budget horror film, this low-hovering shrub is the perfect element to any property. Bearing gorgeous textured branches, this perennial covers a majority of the ground and is a great way to visually change up a property.
