Obviously, the plants you choose have a lot to do with how much work is required in your garden. To keep garden-tending simple, the most effective thing to do is limit plant variety. Choose five to ten plant varieties for a seriously low-maintenance garden. This will allow you to be effortlessly confident of what each type of plant needs, and dealing with weeds will be easier.
When a plant is “low-maintenance,” it doesn’t require frequent watering, spraying, or pruning in order to be healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
