A rock garden, with just rocks. There is no such thing as no maintenance for ANYthing. Even a brick wall needs cleaning once in a while. An old tree needs to be pruned occasionally. Anything in cultivation on a plot of land that is planted, requires some type of care at some point in its life. As far as LOW maintenance, you can try small shrubs which require mainly aesthetic maintenance: burning bush is good; I rarely have to prune mine, and they turn a fantastic red now. Most conifers are low-maintenance. Deciduous trees include oaks and maples, unless raking leaves is not desirable. Low shrubs include cotoneaster and potentilla. English ivy, once established, is about as low-maintenance as you can get. Mugho pine grows slowly and requires minimum care. Stay away from roses and bulbs and fruit trees, as these require regular care. Good luck.

hoatas, there are many different varieties and they are very hardy, they add ambiance w/o all the flashy color. i have about 15 sporadically around my house and i wouldn't trade them for anything else and i can honestly say I've not had to touch them since planting them 4 years ago even thru all the bad winters they still look great!

How about phlox? They have flowers all summer and fall. They self-seed to spread and also grow larger clumps to spread. They are resistant to drought and flooding (but you need the newer varieties to avoid mildew). They also attract lots of butterflies and hummingbirds. They are dense enough and tall enough to be a hedge.

easy a cactus because a cactus plant doesn't take water to grow just stick it in the ground.

The question is impossible to answer since you don't tell us where you live or what your purpose is (shrubs? trees? flowers? ground cover?) Under the circumstances, all I can suggest is daylilies (Hemerocallis) since they will grow just about anywhere and may only need to be thinned every 20 years or so.
