Becoming a new plant parent can be daunting - especially when that plant lives outside. Whilst you want to keep an eye on it, check how it’s doing and give it all your love and affection, sometimes it can seem like a lot of effort.
But it’s simply not true. Maintaining beautiful outdoor plants needn’t be as hard as you think. In fact, you can maintain many great plants with very little effort. Here are 10 outdoor plants that are extremely easy to maintain.
5 Easy To Maintain Outdoor Plants
Laura
Low maintenance Laura, our Bay Tree, can grow in a container for 10-15 years. Aptly, this long-living outdoor plant was known in ancient Greek and Roman circles for immortality, victory and health.
Just like the ancient Greeks, Laura likes to lounge in the sunshine, but can also take periods in the shade. Try not to water her too frequently. And, if you don’t want to rest on your laurels, give her a good trim in late summer.
Fats
Fats, or Fatsia Japonica, is one tough shrub. Evergreen, though not overly-happy in harsh winds, Fats can be planted in almost all locations – even sparser urban settings. If you’ve got a tricky patch of garden, pop in Fats and benefit from his beautiful white flowers in the autumn.
Archie
Archie, who’s botanical name is Carex Oshimensis, is a dark green and golden yellow grass that adds colour to any outdoor space. Even better, this Japanese plant can survive cold temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius.
Archie will flourish in sun or part-shade and needs a little watering in the spring and summer is all.
Ivy
Due to her low-maintenance attitude, Ivy is perfect for beginner gardeners. It doesn’t matter where you plant her – in bright light or deep shade – Ivy will grow plentifully during spring. You can then cut her back as much as you like in the winter – simple.
Cory
From southern Europe to South-East Asia, Cory (Cordyline) has been used for food and medicine for a long time. Not only that, but his startling red and green will visually go well with anything in a modern outdoors setting.
Don’t let him dry out, that’s all really.
