I've heard it might be tricky. Is it true? What is the best way to that? It's this year's plant. No flowers yet.
There are lots of great options:
Prairie Splendor Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Prairie Splendor')
Intersperse sedum varieties with whatever you plant. Very low maintenance and drought tolerant. The varieties include ground covers, mounding, and others that reach 18" tall. My favorites are Angelina, Autum Joy, and Thundercloud. Google sedum varieties to find ones you might like for your garden.
That will depend on your lighting and location.
Lilly of the valley grows almost anyplace
iris grow quite well
And tiger Lilly's
Verbena, day lilies, hostas,, daisies, you won't need many as you can split these every 2 years to make more plants. Roses, are another good plant.
Good ground cover is vinca - sun and shade. Lily of the valley can be invasive. Mint is another plant that should be in pots - otherwise it too will become invasive. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for all the good information! i appreciate it soooooo very much! 😊
Hostas are very low maintenance
