My boss (no pressure here) has asked me to help her decided on some
landscape additions to her home. I suspect that she would much rather look
at her yard than work in it, so I figure I'd better stay away from the
"divide every other year" and "deadhead daily" types of plants. While I was
contemplating my dilemma, I thought it would be fun to poll the plantaholics
(you) about their experiences. So the question to you is:
What is(are) your favorite low-maintenance perennial(s)?
I have to say, hosta ranks WAY up there for me. It comes up faithfully each
spring, sends up a few flower spikes now and then (like it's saying "hey,
look at me!"), and stays around until winter. If you want to divide, you
got more plants. If you don't want to divide it, it just gets bigger. Lots
of varieties. Beautiful!
Whatcha think?
