Easycare outdoor plants
If you are new to gardening or just don't have masses of free time, there are a whole host of undemanding plants which don't need much care or attention. They will happily grow fuss-free, filling your garden with colour, foliage and scent, as well as encouraging wildlife to visit. Some plants are drought tolerant, not minding if you forget to water them often. Others are tough and hardy, tolerating harsh, cold conditions. Some don't require any regular maintenance, like pruning.
