It’s a question that has baffled many gardeners over the years, since there is such a massive range of potential plant types to choose from. Some are extremely hearty, some very drought tolerant and others which require minimal attention but bloom spectacularly all season long. In this article I’ll reveal three perennial flowers that I consider to be excellent plants for landscaping, regardless of how difficult the landscape may be.

The three best plants for a gardener are ornamentals and stonecrop. The ornamental grasses on the other hand are a great way to create colour in the garden with a touch of whimsy. Stonecrop can be planted almost anywhere in the garden and is great for creating barriers against harsh weather or noisy neighbours. These two plants also tolerate most diseases and thrive in full sunlight. If a stonecrop goes to seed then it will only germinate in dirt so if you have a tester, keep an eye on the bottom of your terrace or patio.

The greatest asset about zinnias is that they are both beautiful and easy to maintain. Zinnias have magnificent flowers that only bloom once a year, so they are suitable for gardens which have seasons with very short daylight hours. This makes zinnias ideal for areas of Europe where summer flowers do not really occur. You can buy them from specialist flower shops and nurseries in your own country or import them from the rest of the world. In my opinion, the biggest benefit of zinnias is that they look stunning in any garden, so I would recommend planting a few as a hedge against weeds.

Another plant that comes to mind when you think of low maintenance shrubs are the gladioli, or African lupine, a plant. These are by far the most popular low maintenance plant in the world. They are beautiful, hardy plants that thrive in dry, warm conditions. The gladioli are very easy to grow from seed and you can expect to see them in flower from late spring up until July.

Phlox, also known as “bird of the day”, is another species of plant that attracts people’s attention in the late summer months. The phlox are very easy to grow and will flower up to six times a year. You will see many different colors of phlox throughout the summer including white, gold, cream, yellow, blue, and red.

If you are looking for flowers that bloom in the late spring and early summer, look no further than the fuchsia. The flowers of the fuchsia are extremely fragrant, especially during the springtime, and make a colorful centerpiece on your landscaping. You can plant the fuchsia in a multitude of different spots, or group them together. In addition to blooming in the late spring, the fuchsia will produce flowers all summer long. Monrovia is a common name for the fuchsia plant, but it also has other names such as Mono Fuchsia, Mono Whitaker, or Monrovia cribanifolia.

One of the tallest flowers that is very low maintenance and easy to grow is the crabgrass. This low growing perennial blooms in the spring and early summer. The crabgrass is a perennial, climbing shrub with a fleshy, brass colored leaves that is used as a herb, a spice, and in some gardens, as a contrast plant.

The tulip is another perennial with attractive foliage that blooms in the late summer. Tulips are known by other names such as daffodils, crocus, and cosmos. The tulip draws people to it because it is unusual in the sense that rarely tulips flower for one complete year. Most tulips will flower for two or three years.
