Easy plants to take care of?

[riskey58]

I have cana lillies in my yard. And they grow no matter what. They are the easiest flower to take care of. And they look nice.

I just wanted to mention that this really depends on the zone you live in. Planting for the right zone will make plants easier to care for and require less watering which is good for the environment.

I'm in the midwest in zone 5 and these work well for me with little care:
Lilac
Roses
Sedum
phlox
tulips
black eyed susans

The phlox and sedum both spread rapidly for me. They make for pretty spring and fall interests, respectively.

Your point is absolutely correct Mom2manyboyz. The place where I reside is very much favoring Roses and Lily. Those are most easiest ones to take care of.

Yes, I also agree that lillies are the easiest to grow and need not much care.Roses need much more care.

You know it just depends on where you live. 300 miles south of me, cactus are frequently seen popping up in people's yards, but there are very few cactus that would grow in my yard.

I have never grown lillies, but I have grown gladiolas and irises which are similar. My only problem with them is the blooms are too short lived. They are so pretty.

Many day lilies are available which bloom all summer in many colors. You can also order day lilies which bloom at various times so that there are always some in bloom. Trade with neighbors and watch them quickly spread in your garden.

We has white and red rose plants and it so happened that red rose plants need more maintainance rather than the white roses. We brought pink roses which didn't stay longer either. But, we tried removing off the white roses but it had just the roots remaining and the plant grew back on its own just by watering.

It could be the soil in the exact area of the planting and it could be the climate at the time of planting. If a plant takes root well, establishes itself well, immediately, it will require little care. If I happen to plant something and we get some good spring rains with no frost, I'm lucky, and my plant is happy.

I never do a thing with my red rose bushes except cut them back when they start to take over. Two years ago, we had a very late spring freeze that killed many of my flowers and trees. I thought my roses were gone, but this year they miraculously sprung back up as new plants near the old ones. They just don't give up.

Even I do agree with you mbtaluka.It really depends upon the region where you reside.Sometimes it really becomes easy to grow roses while it really becomes hard to grow some simple plants.
