If you\u2019re looking to add some beauty, variety and color to your yard, here\u2019s a list of flowers to consider. All of these will look amazing, but the best part is they\u2019re low maintenance and hard to kill.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Peonies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Peonies are a surprisingly hearty plant. They are perennials which means they\u2019ll keep blooming year after year. They love the sun and can handle up to six hours a day in direct light. They\u2019re also beautiful and smell amazing!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Snapdragons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These flowers will add a lot of color to your garden. They\u2019re low maintenance, love the sun and deer don\u2019t like to eat them! This means you\u2019ll be able to enjoy them fully when they bloom in spring and fall.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cosmos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another beautiful option is the Cosmos flower. An article written by Alexa Erickson for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/low-maintenance-flowers-you-cant-kill\/\">familyhandyman.com<\/a> states, \u201cThese undemanding annuals bloom even in poor soil. They like full sun, but prefer afternoon shade in hot climates. They can tolerate drought and withstand general neglect. Because few pests bother these flowers, they\u2019ll look beautiful throughout the whole summer, and they come in a variety of eye-catching colors.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Geraniums<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Geraniums thrive in full sun and appreciate a bit of afternoon shade. They will bloom from early spring until it frosts. They are drought resistant and deer resistant. These will be an excellent addition to your garden.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Coneflowers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a flower that will attract butterflies and bees, coneflowers are a great choice. While this flower prefers full sun, they can also survive in shady areas as well. Coneflowers will bloom in early spring and continue to thrive until the first frost of the year.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Zinnias<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Zinnias are another great option that will add a lot of color to your garden. The above mentioned article also states, \u201cWhen these adaptable flowers get full sun, they can grow up to three feet in height. However, they will also do well in shade. Drought-tolerant zinnias grow fast. Because they\u2019re annuals, they transform from seed to flower in record time and their blooms last all summer long.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Begonias<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Begonias do well in drought conditions and a lot of sun. They can also thrive in shadier areas. These flowers will continue to bloom without deadheading.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Petunias<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If this flower gets partial or full sun, you\u2019ll have no problems with them blooming all throughout spring, summer and fall. Talk about resilient! This is an extremely low maintenance flower that also doesn\u2019t require deadheading.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Butterfly Milkweed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another flower that is great for attracting butterflies is the butterfly milkweed. These plants thrive in any type of soil. Once they\u2019ve been planted, they require very little water to survive. In addition to butterflies, these flowers attract hummingbirds, bees and other pollinators as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about your ability to keep a flower garden thriving, try some of these plants.
