Now that you\u2019ve moved into your brand new home, you\u2019re likely focused on tips and strategies for keeping your dream home – and your yard – looking as wonderful as possible. With great weather up ahead as the days become warming and longer, now\u2019s the time to start thinking about low-maintenance flowers that can add color and beauty to your Pacific Northwest home. For low-maintenance gardening that will continue to bloom year-after-year, we come up with this list of some of the best (low-maintenance) perennial, flowers, that are perfect for homeowners in Idaho<\/a>, Washington<\/a>, and Oregon<\/a>.
\n\"Pink<\/a>Primroses<\/strong>
\nBest for homes that get a lot of sun and soil that will drain completely, primroses are easy to care for, and will keep coming back without replanting every year – a homeowner\u2019s dream! These are one of the earliest flowers to bloom each season, making them especially eye-catching.
\n\"Cardinal<\/a>Cardinal Flowers<\/strong>
\nCardinal flowers, also called cardinal wildflowers, are some of the most beautiful flowers to keep in your yard. These flowers are a shocking red color that catches the eye and draws attention from passersby, and are one of a hummingbird\u2019s favorite. These flowers like morning sun and afternoon shade, and moist soil (perfect in Washington and Oregon). A great plus of these low-maintenance flowers, is that they will self-sow if left unclipped, meaning that you can count on them reblooming for years to come. Don\u2019t want them to drop seeds? Clip out the flower stems when they\u2019re done blooming.
\n\"Dahlia<\/a>Dahlia<\/strong>
\nThe name of this flower alone may be enough to persuade you to plant it; when you find out that there are thousands of dahlia varieties, you\u2019ll be convinced. These flowers can get up to six feet tall, and are available in multiple colors. They\u2019ll start blooming about eight weeks after planting (or around mid-July if you already have them in your yard). Grown primarily for cut flowers in bouquets, you can leave your dahlias in the ground, or cut them and bring them inside for a way to spruce up your new home.
\n\"Shasta<\/a>Shasta Daisy<\/strong>
\nThe Shasta daisy is a simple and sweet flower that is easy to grow and nice to look at. These flowers will bloom in the summertime, and can provide year-round green foliage depending on your location. To keep these flowers happy, plant in an area where the soil drains completely and the flowers will be partially shaded; full sun can be too harsh for Shasta daisies. One of the best things about these flowers is that once they\u2019re in the ground, care is minimal. You can cut foliage back after blooming (usually around September) to keep the plant healthy and ready to flower again the following year.
\n\"A<\/a>A Beautiful, Easy to Maintain, Yard Can Make a Big Difference<\/strong>
