What are the easiest perennials to plant and take care of?

Answer 1

I go with herbs for flowers and use. Chives are so simple. They have a great clump, grow gorgeous beautiful purple flower heads and you can have fresh chives in your food any time you like. They also attract many butterflies. Lavendar also has a lovely flower and the flowers can be cut and used in a potpourri. There is a lovely perennial called Pulmonaria or lungwort. It requires little maintenance and puts out a profusion of bell shaped tiny flowers in shades of pink and purple and it is one of the first perennials to bloom in spring. Columbines are a cinch once they get going. There are many colors and varities and the leaves look great after the flower fade. I love ornamental thistle. These will range in color from white to purple, will bloom in late summer and also beloved by butterflies. Coreopsis will put out a profusion of summer blooms as will galardia. Back in the herb department, sage is fabulous but needs lots of room. It has great leaves that last into winter, puts out nice purple flowers and makes a great oil and seasoning. Sage is a woody plant so it does need to be pruned back. These are the perrenials that I grow that require little to no maintenace. Just keep them mulched and give them plenty of room to grow.

Stonecrops!! These Plants start growning early in Spring and then grow all Summer and do not Bloom until Fall!! In the Fall, you just cut them down to the ground and throw it away and next Spring, They come back. If you only start with a couple, you will have enough! You can dig them up, split them up and plant them apart. I only bought one when I just decided to try this perennial and now I have 13! The plants do get bigger but I just love it because it grows all season long and does not bloom until Fall!!! Check it out!!

Hosta's (plantain lilies) and Lily's (hemerocallis) are the two easiest perrenials to take care of. They grow pretty much anywhere, they do well, and they do not take over your garden like many of the hardy plants will. They only maintenance they require is to prune of the flower shoots once the flowers have died.

Some of the classics, depending on where you live, are
Flowers: Daylillies, Sedum, Black-eyed Susans,Coreopsis .....and of couse common bulbs like Daffadils, Crocus, Tulips, Iris,

Flowering Shrubs: Lilacs, Peonies, Rose of Sharon, Butterfly Bush -- and don't overlook the new low-maintenance, almost fool-proof rose bushes. Check the web for the many varieties available, then call your garden center to see which are available in your area. [Some make a wonderful hedge with virtually no maintenance!]

Answer 5

Whatever is native to your region will be the easiest to care for. In Maine, that means tiger lilies, wild aster and beach roses. Where do you live?

Hydrangeas.
