Plants for Creating the Easy-Care Summer Garden Plan

“While the plants in this garden plan aren’t picky about soil, site them in full sun for maximum blooming. Keep them well watered the first year after planting. After that, these perennials will do their thing for years to come without needing much from you other than a spring cleanup.” BHG
