My Favorite Low-Maintenance Plants

It’s summer, so I definitely have my favorite low-maintenance plants on the brain! If you’re like me, you feel like the key to success with landscaping is low maintenance.

Okay that, and it has to look GREAT. Through the years I’ve planted SO MANY PLANTS and if you know me at all, you know that I LOVE LANDSCAPING. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’ve come up with a few tried and true favorites.

Now before you go and plant these beauties in your yard, remember that while I’m from the East Coast (Oh hey, Virginia! ??) most of my landscaping experience is in Southern California. So I’m not saying that these plants won’t work where you live, but I would definitely double check with your local garden center first. So without further ado, here are my FAVORITE PLANTS…
