Whether you are a beginner or simply looking for easy-care plants, here are 7 popular choices to enhance your yard with minimal effort.

3. Ornamental grasses
Ornamental grasses add movement and texture to the garden. They require very little maintenance.
A simple spring cut is usually enough.
4. Lavender
Known for its fragrance, lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained areas. However, it should be planted in a protected spot as it does not tolerate harsh winter frost well.
