The 8 best low-maintenance plants for busy gardeners – create a ‘brilliant landscape’

Peonies

These stunning flowers are both drought tolerant and resistant to pesky slugs, making them perfect for the unpredictable UK climate.

Peonies will bloom best in a bright, sunny spot that gets around six to eight hours of light per day.

The bold flowers are a fine choice for lining along walkways or to create a low hedge in your garden.

Plant peonies towards the end of summer for a flush of flowers in May.

Coneflower (Echinacea)

Echinacea can be a source of food, medicine or simply a bright addition to the garden- so there’s really no reason not to add this to your green space.

The delicate, long petals are easy on the eye and require no pruning throughout the year.

What’s more, this gorgeous bloom will do well in most soil types, so it really is an easy plant to grow.
