What are the easiest garden plants?

Explore a plethora of easy-to-grow flowering plants, ranging from agapanthus, aster, coneflower, lupines, fuchsia, lavender, to hellebore. Elevate your greenery with magnificent ferns, versatile foliage plants that thrive effortlessly both in garden beds and indoor spaces.

What is the best plant for all year round?

Retaining their lush green leaves throughout the seasons, evergreen flowering perennials add enduring beauty beyond their blooming period. Explore the practical elegance of herbs like Lavender, Rosemary, and Salvia, cherished for their evergreen foliage and year-round charm.

What is the difference between annual and perennial plants?

Annual flowers flourish throughout a single extended season, typically persisting into fall before succumbing to freezing temperatures. On the other hand, perennials experience a dieback of their above-ground parts in freezing weather, only to rejuvenate from the base and rootstock come spring, ensuring a renewed bloom each year.

What plants go well in hanging basket?

These are the most popular plants for hanging baskets – think petunias, geraniums, calibrachoa and trailing fuchsias, verbena and lobelia.

How can I make my garden look good all year round?

Simplify your planting approach with resilient shrubs and evergreen varieties. Hardy shrubs, known for their longevity, eliminate the need for annual replacements, while evergreens like sedges and hellebores maintain year-round appeal with minimal leaf shedding compared to deciduous plants.
