Today we have prepared a list of flowers that are intended for all beginners in gardening. These flowers beautify your home, and they do not need too much effort and time to grow them.
Below you can see our list of 12 flowers.
Pansies
Pansies are garden favorites precisely because they are so easy to nurture – and come highly recommended for beginner gardeners.
To make their care even easier, purchase these bright and beautiful flowers as bedding plants and transplant them directly into the ground. From then on out, they only require a minimum amount of attention to thrive.
The pansy likes rich, well-drained soil, and full sun or partial shade. Deadheading the withered flowers is a must to encourage greater growth.
Lupines
Available in a variety of colors, and growing up to four feet tall, lupines are an attractive way to add color and texture to any garden bed.
Growing lupines is simple! Plant seeds or cuttings in a sunny area with average but well-drained soil. They do best in an area which hasn’t been amended by the application of compost or fertilizers.
Ornamental Alliums
An unusual yet beautiful bloom, it’s difficult to believe that the ornamental allium is related to humble onions and garlic.
These easy-to-grow bulbs come in a broad palette of colors, heights and bloom times. Ornamental alliums are hardy and undemanding – although they should be grown in a sunlit area. They aren’t fussy about soil type, as long as it is well-drained; they don’t requirement much space and, best of all, they are relatively resistant to deer, voles, chipmunks and rabbits!
Hardy Geranium
With approximately 500 species of geraniums worldwide – thriving on every continent – there is a hardy geranium for every climate type.
The hardy geranium is resistant to pests and disease, although they require well-drained, fertile and moist soil. They prefer morning and afternoon sun, and can handle partial shade well.
Because they are so successful as a weed-suppressing ground cover due to the large quantities of flowers they produce, a mid-season cut back is a good idea.
Hardy geraniums are easy to grow from seed and even easier to cultivate from bare roots!
Nasturtium
The quick growing and colorful nasturtiums can be sowed directly into the ground. Soaked seeds will germinate quickly, and do well in even poor soil.
The only thing this low maintenance plant will ask of you is regular hydration – let the soil dry between waterings, although the plant shouldn’t be parched.
Nasturtiums look lovely in containers and window boxes, but they also make great ground cover in borders and beds.
Best of all, the entire plant is edible! Similar to watercress, the flowers have a peppery flavor, while the leaves can be used in salads and the seeds can be pickled like capers.
Bachelor’s Button
A hardy, intensely blue wildflower, the Bachelor’s Button is low maintenance and thrives in poor, dry soil.
Sow this drought tolerant annual in early spring, after the last frost. It usually reseeds itself coming back year after year. Plant it in a position where it’s sure to receive morning sunlight, but partial shade during hot afternoons.
Bachelor’s Button doesn’t require too much in the way of watering – it becomes weak and floppy in soggy soil, and can also suffer stem rot and mildew. For a longer blooming season, pinch off wilted heads.
Marigold
Marigolds enjoy their popularity precisely because they are so very easy to grow. Their wide range of colors also helps matters of course – you’ll find them in white, yellow, orange, red and mixed colors.
From miniatures to giant varieties, there is a myriad of marigold varieties so you can select the color and size that is perfect for your flower or container garden.
Marigolds grow quickly from seed. Sow them directly after the last frost in full sunlight (or up to a maximum of 20% shade). They are tolerant of dry, sandy soil, but don’t like to be overly damp.
Sunflowers
Few flowers embody the very essence of summer quite like the spectacular sunflower!
Growing to between 6 and 16 feet tall, depending on the variety, the annual sunflower is a surprisingly undemanding plant. Simply sow the seeds in a sunny, sheltered spot – providing supports for the stems to prevent breakage.
The hardy sunflower does well in most soil types (except soil that is water-logged) and most varieties are tolerant to heat and drought.
Sunflowers attract bees and birds and will provide you with a bounty of seeds that are high in many essential nutrients like Vitamins E and B1, magnesium and selenium.
Lavender
Lavender is a hardy plant that doesn’t require a whole lot of care once established – just one of the many reasons to grow this calming purple flower in your garden. Keep in mind that lavender thrives in sunshine and dry soil, meaning under watering or drought isn’t an issue
Nigella
Also known as Love-in-a-Mist because of its tangle of fern-like foliage around the flower, the nigella requires minimal maintenance, although it is a short lived plant. However, it self-sows freely so you can enjoy continuous blooms once the seeds have scattered adequately.
Because it adapts to a variety of soil conditions, it’s relatively easy to grow almost anywhere. Once established, it isn’t usually bothered by pests. For best results, sow your nigella seeds directly in the ground, in full sun to partial shade.
