Six Easy Care Plants

Gardening and planting isn’t for everyone. Certain plants and crops take time and care… Something we don’t all have. These top six favourites are easy to care for and grow well in almost any region… Even with inevitable days of neglect.

Hostas

These perennials thrive in partial shade, although some varieties (such as the gold leaf), prefer a little more sun. If you live in an area with a lot of deer, be careful–they love them. Visit a local garden centre and ask for a safe deer repellent.

Russian Sage

The aromatic Russian Sage blooms in anything except for extreme climates, with bright colours and needing minimal pruning.

Globe Thistle

This plant is perfect because, not only is it attractive, but they thrive in dry, poor soil.

Siberian Iris

While most irises wilt easily post blooming, this variety stays intact. Coming in blue, white and purple, it’s a rich and elegant touch to your garden.

Turtlehead

Even in extreme climates, the Turtlehead rages on. It is attractive, blooming a white, red, or rich pink, and will withstand any temperature and weather change.

Blazing Star

Growing well in all kinds of soil, this purple flower needs no tending at all.
