5 Flowers That Don’t Need Your Help To Survive

Some of us love the idea of a beautiful garden but were definitely not blessed with a natural green thumb. Nothing is more disheartening than watching something you planted sprout then quickly die.

If this is the case for you, it’s time to move on to something more low-maintenance. Luckily, there are several options when it comes to growing flowers that don’t need your constant care.

If you want a beautiful flower garden but aren’t able to give it that much attention, considering planting one of these five flowers that can survive without your help.

1. Coneflower

This flower comes in many colors, and can grow in the sunlight as well as partial shade, as long as it has well-drained soil.

2. Sunflowers

Sunflowers – as you would expect — need sunlight, but they can still grow well in poor, dry soil, making them a good choice for those of us who may forget to water our plants.

3. Milkweed

This perennial can grow just about anywhere, and like sunflowers, it can tolerate dry soil.

4. Cosmos

Cosmos can handle a wide range of soil types, and they are even drought-tolerant. Bonus: they’re easy to grow from seeds.

5. Marigolds

Marigolds like the sun, and they can survive in dry, hot conditions. They come in a number of colors and sizes, giving you options for your garden.
