Planting

Who doesn’t enjoy the mesmerizing view of greenery and doesn’t love inhaling the delightful fragrance of flowers while having fun in the pool or relaxing on the yard sunbeds?

Despite all the comforts modern technologies are giving us, we are all still linked to our ancient ancestors, who lived close to nature. We love to observe butterflies dancing on the soft petals and hear the cheerful buzz of bees, don’t we?

The main reason numerous homeowners hesitate on the way to a flourishing yard is a lack of gardening knowledge. The excess of water, for example, is blocking oxygen supply and killing plants. A number of unexpected issues may arise when a novice takes the gardening business into his or her own hands.

But there is a solution. Plenty of homeowners favour perennials for easy handling. Low-maintenance plants Canada will bloom every year, making your outdoor space bright and welcoming.

Perennials add colour and some magical appeal to your exterior. Moreover, a well-planned garden helps you use your outdoor space wisely. Just wait and see how the evolution of your yard unfolds before your eyes.

Low-maintenance Plants in Canada

The perennials are easy-to-grow plants, but you have to know that some so-called perennial plants are actually short livers that self-sow. Each offspring shows the same beautiful appearance, and the homeowner confuses the new plant with its parent plant. Such perennials can look tired after a few years.

Let’s run through the top popular solutions for your garden.

Hostas

Prepare well-drained soil and shade areas for Hostas, which can boast eye-catching and large leaves. This perennial is a great addition to green hues in your exterior, as its leaves vary in colour.

With Hostas, you can avoid division, but the procedure benefits the plant’s health. The choice is rich and diverse, as there are over 70 species and a number of hybrids of this plant.

Peonies

These 2 to 4-foot-tall guys grow well in full sun, and they prefer generous moisture. Peonies bring luxury and a touch of sweetness.

These showy beauties won’t fade from your garden after a year or two. 

Actually, peonies bloom up to 40–50 years, but on average, they live about 10–15 years, which is also great for a plant.

In addition, there is a Peony Society in Canada, and the Chinese know the plant as “the King of Flowers.” Well, calling peony popular is an understatement now. It is adored around the world. Will you go for soft hues, like white and blush, or more saturated shades, like pink and red?

Hellebores

For their rose-like blossoms, Hellebores are also known as Winter roses. You can see the first flowers in late winter. These plants favour shades and a great deal of water. Hellebores tolerate drought, though not for a very long time.

Evergreen foliage of Winter roses will stay in your garden for up to 10 years.

Echinacea

Echinacea, aka Coneflower, will please your eyes with its bloom through the whole summer and early fall. This plant handles drought, but water it properly for the first few months.

Advice: it is better to blend different hues to get a really colourful collage.

Echinacea is a cold-hardy plant. The flowers are not as harmless as they may seem, at least for your dog; don’t let your pet chew them, as they are not safe for digestion. The lifespan of a Coneflower is about 2–5 years.

Sedum

Sedum, or Stonecrop, feels great under the full sun. Going for a vacation? Just water these perennials generously, and you will see the same blooming beauty after your arrival back home. This succulent differs in type and lifespan.

Asters

With Asters, you get bright and vibrant colours. These flowers look like daisies and are connected to purity, love, and magic. The cultivation is rather easy: they stand drought and love moist or semi-moist soil. This plant will decorate your garden for up to 5 years.

Heuchera

Heuchera, or Coral Bells, was used by Native Americans as a medical plant. These flowers feel great whether they are in the sun or shade. Coral bells definitely capture attention with their versatile leaf hues.

Daylilies

Try to take your eyes off Daylilies, as this fountain of colours looks absolutely stunning. Daylilies don’t need much; just water them generously. The total blooming time lasts up to 40 days.

Are you cooking? Take a glimpse into your garden – some species of Daylilies have edible flowers and could be added to a salad.

There is a mind-blowing growth rate of species, from 5 around 15 years ago to more than 150 nowadays. So, the choice of the best type is a real challenge for a modern gardener.

Bobo Hydrangea

Bobo Hydrangea looks whimsical and charming at the same time. This elegant beauty blankets the yard with soft white and lovely pink hues. The plant likes sunbathing and drinks whatever amount of soil water it gets.

Bobo is a reliable garden dweller, and you can expect it to bloom with whatever summer weather has thrown at this plant.

Keep in mind that some plants bloom in the early summer or late spring, and some show a splash of colours in the late summer or early fall. We can smartly neighbour them, so the whole picture looks elegant and balanced as soon as the blooming season starts.
