As a time-poor gardener, I love my pots but rarely have the hours to fuss over them – which is why I rely on these hard-working plants that practically look after themselves. While potted plants usually need more attention than those in the ground (their soil dries out faster, after all), some varieties will still put on a dazzling display with minimal input, needing little more than the occasional splash of water once established.
These easy-going picks are perfect if you want to elevate a patio or balcony without committing to constant upkeep, and they’re just as suited to beginners testing their green fingers for the first time.
