Caring for high maintenance flowers can feel like a chore, especially when the heat of summer is going strong.
But even in the heat, gardens keep growing, and you may have a few empty spots in your yard that could use some color. Plus, the more plants you have, the cooler it feels because plants help cool things down.
If you want to add a ton of summer color that doesn’t require a ton of work, we’ve put together a list of our favorite Low Maintenance perennials.
The list below offer multiple benefits for your garden. All have:
- High aesthetic value
- Lower risk for pests and disease
- Require very little pruning.
- Thrive without much water (once the root systems are established, of course)
