HostaWant to spice up your yard but don't know much about gardening?  Here are the top 10 easiest plants to grow in any yard to get you you started:

  1. Daylily (Stella de Oro’) – a beautiful summery yellow plant that is not only easy to grow but its elegant flowers make for a great variety that is the first to bloom and the last to stop
  2. Black-Eyed Susan – this native daisy is one that you will never have to worry about again after you plant it. It is virtually void of pests and diseases and it’s yellow blooms are full and long
  3. Hosta – perfect for a shady corner, this leafy hosta will bring a great green texture to your garden
  4. Blanket Flower (Goblin) – very popular plant in the south and is known for its heat-tolerant reputation
  5. Strawberry (Surecrop) – high yielding and sweet berry blooms in the summer and reddens all the way through with a rich but sweet flavor
  6.  Yarrow (Paprika) – this spicy red flower is both heat and drought tolerant
  7. Rose (Felicia) – low maintenance rose that blooms profusely all summer long.
  8.  Stonecrop (Vera Jameson) – thick, fleshy, succulent leaves and dusky, pink flowers draw butterflies by the droves and is a must have because of its low maintenance
  9. Tomato – very easy to grow vegetable
  10.  Lamb’s Ears (Silver Carpet) – great plant to use as an edging in your perennial beds
So the next time you second guess yourself on whether or not you have the skills/knowledge to spice up your flower beds, don't.  Add some more color to your gardens or flower beds without the hassle and before you know it your neighbors will be commenting on your great gardening skills.
