11 EASY PLANTS FOR ALL YEAR LONG INTEREST WHICH DON'T REQUIRE A GREEN THUMB

Here are more of the plants suggested by Jami Boys

2. Bunnera ?(March-May)
This pick is no surprise to those who?ve been reading AOC for awhile ? I like to champion this little workhorse plant since it is so pretty, both when it?s blooming and when it?s not, since it?s almost evergreen in our garden. The most wonderful thing about this, though, is that it grows happily in dry shade, one of the hardest-to-grow areas of any garden. It does need supplemental water in the driest months, but that?s it for maintenance, basically.
Best Variety: ?Jack Frost? Brunnera, pictured above has glowing variegated leaves ? and most importantly, doesn?t reseed everywhere like the common green brunnera does.

3. Hardy Geranium (April and even into fall, depending on variety)
There are so many varieties of this popular perennial in shades from white all the way to deep purple and blooming from just a month or so, to all summer long, that you?ll easily find something for your garden. I?ve grown a couple and they are a pretty perfect low-growing plant.
Best Varieties (highly subjective, as most are great!): purple ?Rozanne? (June-Sept.), white-pale pink ?Kashmir White? (May-July), and pink ?Tiny Monster? pictured above (April-July, with sporadic blooms after shearing into October). Note to ?Tiny Monster?- it really does get huge, so the price for the longer bloom is that there?s more maintenance to keep it in check with shearing ? I actually use a hedge trimmer for this plant!
