What are SOME GOOD low maintanance perennials??
poppies are self sowing annuals. if you keep the area around them free of weeds they'll come back year after year.





Azaleas are perennials, they'll make a nice hedge, if you keep them trimmed or you can let them go wild and they'll get tall and beautiful (I prefer the untrimmed look)





Foxgloves are biennials. Once you plant them they form a rosette of leaves in the first year, the second year they send up the (lovely!) flower stalk and make seeds. They will self sow like the poppies.





Tulips, crocus and iris all reproduce from bulbs and are perennial. Depending on the area you are in and how well they like where they are planted will determine how fast they will propagate themselves. Tulips are pickier than the other two you mentioned.





Some impatiens are annual, and some are perennial. And there are a lot of impatiens.





As far as low maintenance perennials- There are so so many, much depends on the types of flowers that you like and where you live. In the north, some southern perennials become annuals, so you have to do a bit of research.





Some of my personal favorites:


plants you buy as bulbs: daffodils, iris, lilies, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, gladiolus


they don't require much of anything.





Actually, I could go on and on about my own favorite flowers. Here is a wonderful website that has photos and care information and is kind of an A - Z of perennials and self sowing annuals and biennials.
Reply:Tulips, crocuses and irises are all bulbs so other bulbs like Gladiolas are great low maintenance flowers.





Echanicia, black eyed susans, sweet williams, shasta daisies and other perennials are great in my area. They reseed and come back every year better and better.
Reply:Good low maintenance perrenials-

(Perennials die down in the winter, regrow spring/summer)





Poppies- annual


impatiens - perennial but not in freezing temperatures


foxgloves -biennial (plant first year, flowers second year, then dies)


azaleas- Shrub ( woody plant ,doesn't die down)
