With three young children, I don't have much time for gardening, especially as it isn't something I particularly enjoy. However, I do love having flowers and a beautiful yard!
My solution is to have lots of low maintenance perennials and flowering bushes! I thought I'd share some of my favorites!
!. Echinacea Easy perennial that returns later summer every year with beautiful, sturdy pink flowers!
2. Black-eyed Susans
Similar to Echinacea, this cheery, hardy perennial will expand as well!
3. Daffodils
Plant the bulbs in the fall and enjoy every spring!
4. Tulips
Bulbs just like daffodils!
5. Lilies
Lilies will bloom late spring to early summer. They are also bulbs and return every year! There is a wide variety of colors available.
6. Lilac bush
Blooms late to mid spring with gorgeous purple flowers!
7. Hydrangea
Depending on the PH of your soil and the type you buy, Hydrangea blooms vary in color from white to blue to purple to pink to red!
8. Butterfly Bush
With purple or pink blooms, this whimsical bush also attracts butterflies to your yard!
9. Peonies
Large, beautiful blooms in a variety of colors! Blooms later spring to early summer.
10. Azalea
This easy bush also comes in a variety of pinks, oranges, reds and white! Blooms late spring.
11. Forsythia
And finally, the forsythia bush blooms in early spring, it's cheerful yellow flowers signaling the start of warmer weather!
