What do you find the easiest plants/flowers to grow are?

What grows well in your garden ?

The easiest, by far are

hellebores
brunera
asters
clematis
aquilegias
hardy geraniums
iris

All of these, at most, require a combination of feeding/cutting back/stopping from spreading too much.

BUT tbf, I've long since been of the opinion that anything that requires a lot of effort to grow well probably isn't suited and so it's better to let it go and replace with something that WANTS to live there

For me, because I've got fertile sandy soil, veg like rhubarb is really happy, and any types of bulbs that naturalise (because the sandy soil helps them split well and not rot). I also have lady's mantle like a weed!

If you mean, what takes the least trouble, I reckon perennials that don't need much cutting back. I've got tree peonies, euphorbia, ceanothus and jasmine that all just do their own thing and look nice. Or clematis is quite easy to cut back, so are everlasting peas.

Hardy geraniums

Daisies
I manage to grow hollyhocks, poppies, hydrangeas, foxgloves, French & English lavender and most other wild flowers
It doesn't look 'neat' but it makes me smile
My neighbours all have formal gardens, I must drive them bonkers bur the bees love it

Dandelions and clover! And a massive great big bloody rhubarb that is threatening to take over. I hate rhubarb!

Weeds obviously but I’m sure that’s not the answer you wanted.
We have heavy clay soil and the Japanese Anemone grow like mad.

I'm another one with clay and would second perennial geraniums and Japanese Anemone. Crocosmia, asters and lupins also grow well.
Lavender won't grow in my garden and I can only grow herbs in pots.

Scabiosa, crocosmia, hardy geraniums, clematis, geraniums, aquilegia, night stocks have all done well in a sunny dry border. Eryngium seems to be doing okay too, so does my sambuca nigra. I have sown amni this year to see how that fares.
In the shade in pots I have daphne, sarcococca/sweet box (both highly scented) and hydrangea, all of which are neglected too.
I have also dug a trench at the front of my border and filled it with sand and bulbs. It was a really nice surprise this spring as they all popped up to add some colour and scent: hydrangeas, fritillaria, glory of the snow, Lily of the valley I think from memory.

Cacti as long as you remember to water them a bit once a year they tend not to die too often.

I'm not a gardener... can you tell?

Roses, clematis, sweet peas, tulips, daffodils.

I've struggled with hydrangea and dahlias!

Evergreen clematis, I’ve ignored it, it’s gone wild and grown up the arch I wanted it to cover. Ivy is also great for this but goes mad if left.

Re flowers, bulbs are dead easy, just dig holes, drop them in, wait til spring. Primroses are easy, reappear annually.

Primulas, campanula, spring bulbs

Verbena, Salvias, foxgloves, penstomens, poppies, dahlias, hollyhocks.

The ones that self seeded in my garden that have not been weeded out.

Bulbs —- it’s rare that they fail.
Geraniums will last from year to year if you bring them in or put in a greenhouse for the winter.
Busy Lizzies—- cheap and cheerful, lots of colour.
Roses— I try hard with these , mixed results.

An easy annual from seed is nasturtium.

I started with basically a field as my garden

We have done well with various clematis for the areas where you want a tall climber

Nasturtiums cover the hill banks each spring and summer and look beautiful. We no longer plant them they just self seed. And bonus we don't have to strim the banks

Pansies, calendula, poppies and cornflower are what I use to fill in spaces between perennials

We have Foxglove, holly and lupin along with bluebells in the wooded area

The more formal bed in the front I have mint, lavender, lilly, saxifrage, buddelia, cordyline, Hollyhock

Planters I have various around the drive, nice mix of bedding plants and also euphorbia, sweet pea, roses and forget me nots

Daffodils, crocus, sbowdrops and tulips that come back every year around the field edge

Then we have a wildlife meadow area that has all sorts. Dandelion, clover, yellow rattle, white dead nettle, Foxglove, mallow

Definitely weeds

We can’t grow clematis. I love them, but they just turn up their toes, despite being nurtured.

Geraniums are good
Hoping for good results from lupins and nasturtiums.

It's going to be your soil that controls what you can grow, my last house , total nightmare , the mantra was I planted that , it died!
But, these lasted a while.
Hardy Geraniums, old fashioned aquilegias, bulbs and wild primroses.

Depends on the situation.When I moved into my house I dreamed of flowers. I have a paved garden overshadowed by all the other tall houses so they struggled and died.

But my garden gets a bit of sun and is warm and humid because of the close quarters. You wouldn't notice that if you stood in it today because it's fairly cold today but it's a couple of degrees warmer all year round than my brother's garden which gets much more light but is more exposed.

I discovered hostas. I thought they were boring but they are bloody magnificent and grow so well in my garden. I put them in big pots with gravel on top which protects them from slugs. People are so impressed but I don't do anything to them except water them a bit - not loads because pots retain moisture well so a good drenching once a week in the summer - and a bit of diluted tomato feed every now and them.

Cheap liquid tomato feed is brilliant for all plants. With pots you need to water with diluted vine weevil killer a few times a year. The adult beetles munch notches out of the leaves which look ugly but the real killers are their grubs in the soil. The weevils love to lay their eggs in pots because they are warmish. The grubs suck all the life from the roots. It's heartbreaking to say: "Why is that hosta looking so peaky?" and then touch it to have it come away in your hand because those bloody vine weevil grubs have taken everything.

I grow hellebores and also passion flowers because they piggy back off the ivy which also grows brilliantly to reach the sun. Also cacti lined up on the kitchen windowsill outside - there's a canopy so they don't get rained on. Cacti can withstand extreme cold - it's damp that kills them. They really cheer me up when I'm doing the washing up in Jnauary and waiting months for the other plants to start growing again.

The secret to clematis is head in the sun roots in the shade

Make sure you bury them in much deeper than you usually would so the roots mustn't get even a tiny hint of light and preferably somewhere where the base of the plant is in the shade but the main plant will get plenty of sun.

Persicarias, rheum palmatum, peonies, euphorbia, gunnera, bamboo, cornus, phlox, astrantias, crocosmia, day lillies, brunnera, hostas, primroses, astilbes, geums, Solomon's seal, hardy geraniums, clematis, verbena all do well. As do bluebells, wild garlic, snowdrops, daffodils and tulips.

We can't grow lavender, achillea, trilliums, verbascum, salvias, heucheras, erysimum...
and allium bulbs get eaten 🙁

it depends so much on where you want to grow them. amounts of light, soil conditions, levels of moisture etc...
my back sunny border does well for - lupins, delphiniums (now Ive sorted out the slugs!), roses, campanula, lilac plus anuals like cosmos.
Bottom shady border under a large cherry tree was no good for lupins but does well for ferns, hostas, and foxgloves
Top very shady soggy border near the pond - ferns and hostas mainly with some iris and heachera for more colour.

Front garden - much sunnier, poorer soil - kniphophia, crocosmia, agapnathus, echinacea, lavendar, roses(just about!)

the best way is to understand your growing coniditons and plant plants that suit it then they are easy!
