What is the easiest flowers to grow that require little to no attention?
Question:I do NOT have a green thumb, but I LOVE flowers. I need some easy to care for flowers that are pretty too.
Answers:
There really are not any that requires no care just less. Try Geraniums. Or you can try Hostas they are not really flowers but some have flowers on them. Also Hostas are beautiful and come in different species.
Look for a flowering cactus. Those are the hardiest plants. Just dont OVER water them because then they mold and die!
dandielions, they might be weeds, or are they?
in my opinion hibiscus...thats why my yard is full of them...lol...and they are real pretty too
Generally the easiest plants to care for are cacti and succulents, they do flower but not i imagine as often as you wish. Geraniums come in a variety of colours, can be kept indoors and are quite hardy (however you still have to water them) and might be worth looking into. There are some very tough species of orchids that flower almost year round, all they need is a spray with a water mist everyday, easy enough. Hope that helps.
try alpine shrubs you get them in different types, require almost no attention if planted outside and produce beautiful flowers
You should try alpine shrubs. I have them and they're beautiful, and I hardly ever touch them. Here's a big tip: Plant them in worm castings a.k.a. vermicast. If you can't find it, use GOOD QUALITY potting soil. Both of these "soils" are literally LOADED with nutrients for your plants, and they also time-release the water and nutrients to your plants to make sure your plants don't dry out or drown, but instead get what they need when they need it. you can track this stuff down at www.1800TOPSOIL.com or you can call 1-800-TOPSOIL to see if they have someone local. They're national and I've used 'em in two states and they're good and fair, and they deliver. Good luck!
Lilies! The bulbs are easy to plant and each year they multiply. There are endless colors and varieties of lilies. They are gorgeous and have few problems.
Some of the easiest flowers to plant are:
MARIGOLDS- they like sun and take little care - just keep dead or dying flowers pinched off so new ones will grow and bloom.
VINCA - also a sun loving plant. They will spread if in a bed. Do well in a bed or planter. Bloom all season.
INPATIENTS - These flowers prefer partial shade. Grow very well and spread like the vinca. Bloom all season.
As with any living thing you will have to water your plants a couple times or more a week, depending on the heat and rain.
I think you would do well with any or all the above plants - depending on how much time you are willing to give to keep them healthy.
