Grasses are a great option for a low-maintenance garden as they require cutting just once a year and are really great at adding interest and texture to your space. Choose ornamental grasses that grow best in the soils found in your area, such as Stipa, Festuca, Pennisetum, Rubrum, Variegata, and Helictotrichon.

Shrubs

Shrubs are one of the best low-maintenance plants to choose for your garden. Try replacing high-maintenance flower beds with shrubs and hedges. They are easy to plant and are a great way to add texture and interest without needing much attention.

Shrubs such as lavender, fern, forsythia, and juniper are favourites and will add structure and height. Hardy evergreen shrubs like daphne, holly, heather, and euonymus will look good throughout the year and do not require a lot of ongoing care.
