12 impossible-to-kill flowers for beginners

You hear it so often, it’s a cliché: “I want to grow beautiful flowers for my garden, but everything I cry dies.” This can happen for many reasons.

Sometimes we plant flowers that need more sun or shade than we can afford, or there is a drought, or pests and diseases take hold and our poor dahlias, roses, peonies and other flowers end up as compost.

So opt for some easy-to-grow flowers like sunflowers and morning glory. You can find flowering perennials that are easy to care for all spring, and when they’re done blooming, fill them with annuals for year-round color.

Check out our list of hard-flowering plants in the fall for starters:

“).”

Siberian irises: Plant them in full sun to partial shade and Siberian irises will bloom in early summer without difficulty. After the flowers are done, do not remove the leaves. They will take the sun to feed next season's flowers and die naturally. In the meantime, they will add texture to the garden. You can find Siberian iris in a variety of colors, including purple, blue, gold, pink, white, and burgundy.

Portulaca: or eleven hours, is a hardy annual that grows happily in full sun and medium, well-drained soil. This succulent has thick leaves, so it can tolerate some drought. Use your colorful flower carpet as a ground cover.

Pansy: Add color to your garden in cold weather, in spring and fall. They also overwinter in some regions if they are covered for protection. Give these undemanding plants sun and soil that drains easily.

Begonias: In addition to being resistant, they are great for pots and hanging in baskets. Give them sun or shade and they will reward you with lots of lush colors.

Zinnia: Look for zinnias in almost any color except blue; they are also available in a variety of heights. Plant them in the sun and spread them out as indicated on the seed package; Good air circulation helps prevent disease.

Cosmos: Priest's beaks are easy to grow in sunny locations, brightening your garden with shades of yellow, red, and gold as they bloom all summer long.

Day lily: These sun-loving perennials will flower reliably in almost any soil type as long as it is well-drained. Most importantly, you can divide them after a while and expand your garden.

Geraniums: Great in window pots, hanging baskets, pots or in the garden, geraniums are low maintenance plants. Grow these cheerful colorful flowers from spring to winter; they prefer full sun, but may need some afternoon shade in warm regions.

Morning Glory: To help morning glory seeds sprout, soak them in warm water in the evening before planting or sand the hard seed coat to break it. Once started, the morning glories can take care of themselves.

Asters: Native New England asters peak from late summer to fall, when they bloom in shades ranging from deep purple to lavender and pink. These undemanding beauties, which are wildflowers, work in full sun to partial shade and can grow up to 6 feet tall.

Daffodils: Plant the narcissus bulbs and let them bloom. They will bloom every spring, filling your garden with color and scent. Give them a sunny or partially sunny corner in the garden or in a pot; They are best planted in the fall.
