All plants in your garden need a bit of your care and attention, but some plants are way easier to grow than others.

If you're new to gardening or looking for low-maintenance plants that are easy to grow, we're ready to help!

Here are some options that are known for their resilience and adaptability.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. They are annuals, meaning they complete their lifecycle in one growing season. They require minimal care and can bring joy to your garden with their striking appearance.

Marigolds

Marigolds are popular annual flowers that are often used as borders, in containers, or as companion plants in vegetable gardens. They are known for their pest-repellent properties. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil and require minimal care to thrive.

Mint

Mint is a perennial herb that is incredibly easy to grow. It spreads quickly, so it's often recommended to grow mint in containers or confined areas to prevent it from taking over your garden. Mint thrives in moist soil and partial shade. 

Cherry Tomatoes 

Cherry tomatoes can be grown in containers or directly in the ground, requiring full sun and well-drained soil. They are generally more tolerant of pests and diseases compared to larger tomato varieties.

Basil 

Basil prefers warm weather and full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. It's a great addition to any herb garden and adds flavor to a variety of dishes.
