If you’re a newbie to lawn care and gardening, or simply struggling to keep your plants alive, you need to find some foolproof plants perfect for low maintenance lawn care.
It’s true, you can’t kill something that isn’t living, but faux outdoor plants are never the goal.
Here are 12 plants, shrubs, and flowers that are sure to make your landscape beautiful with little effort.
Hibiscus
These huge, saucer-like flowers grow on stems up to 5 feet tall, making them very dramatic plants in the garden. They easily grow in dry or wet climates, attract butterflies, and are perfect for framing an entryway. How’s that for curb appeal?
Kimberly Queen Fern
Think lush, bold & easy to grow! Better yet, one large plant adds a tropical texture to even the plainest of outdoor spaces.
Coneflower
They’re low-maintenance, low-cost, and drought-tolerant! Plus, these hardy beauties are no strangers to butterflies & bumblebees. Did we mention they’re deer resistant too?
Succulent
Succulents are described as indestructible and their flexible nature makes them an ideal plant for tough growing conditions. They come in a variety of shapes & sizes and are often sold in bulk making them relatively inexpensive.
Basil
Not only is basil delicious on pizza and pasta, but this robust plant grows in abundance! Like mint or rosemary, this is the perfect herb for beginners because it requires hardly any lawn care or weeding!
Hydrangea
While some plants fare better in particular regions, these full-bodied flowers can grow almost anywhere. They come in a wide array of colors which is a direct result of the soil’s pH. If you’re looking for low maintenance lawn care, Hydrangea’s are one of our top picks!

Sedum
Not threatened by heat, humidity or drought, this disease-resistant plant is among the first to emerge in spring and tends to last late into fall.
Poppy
Large paper-mache-like poppies bring bright pops of spring and summer colors to any garden. They require minimal lawn care, like sporadic weeding, when in direct sunlight or during dry spells.
Yarrow
Often disliked by foraging rabbits and deer, yarrow blooms generously in the sun and stands strong against the summer heat.
Geranium
Perennial geraniums are commonly used to fill large spaces, or as accent plants in hangers and flower boxes. They require little to no lawn care since they are tolerant of both wet and dry soil.
Hosta
Hostas are the most popular perennial garden plants because they thrive in shade, and they are extremely easy to care for and propagate!
Pro Tip: Add perennial trimming to any fall cleanup so these beauties are prepared for winter and ready to flourish come spring!
Peony
These delicate flowers are surprisingly strong and can thrive for decades given full sun and well-drained soil. They provide fragrant spring blooms, but have slow growth so garden and lawn care is easy.
