Spring is the perfect moment to refresh your containers with low-maintenance plants that can handle a little neglect; ideal if you have travel plans coming up or simply want to make gardening that bit easier. While plants in pots typically need more frequent watering than those in the ground, there are plenty of resilient varieties that will tolerate missed waterings and still look good with minimal care, even as temperatures begin to rise.
Choosing the right low maintenance plants for pots now means you can enjoy a beautiful display through spring and into summer without constant attention. If you’ve already incorporated some low maintenance backyard ideas, you’ll know how much easier the season can feel. But even if you’re starting fresh, it’s not too late to plant up a few forgiving containers.
