Garden plant advice

PurpleGlaze

I am looking at adding some nice low maintenance plants and flowers to our garden. Our garden is south facing, can anyone suggest any good plants or flowers that i can add?

Primroses are very sweet and don't seem to need a lot of maintenance.

Location?  Soil type?  City? Rural?

I like lavender and daffodils.  honeysuckle is good for climbing.  grape hyacinths are very successful in all sorts of soil.  Lilacs can be great, go for purple rather than white as the white goes rather brown after a bit, but both smell nice.  It does spread though.

Take a look at the RHS website.  They've got loads of useful advice, as well as a "plant-finder": https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/search-form

You can enter dozens of parameters such as your soil type, garden aspect, what colours you're looking for, that kind of thing - it might be a good starting point to get some inspiration.

You've not given much to go on but -
Do you want year round interest or just seasonal colour ?
I would always suggest year round, evergreen colour by shrubs and semi evergreens and underplant with seasonal colour.
I;m presuming you mean planted and not potted ?

Try any sedums, ideal for insects, bees etc, will grow just about anywhere, doesn't mind neglect or drought

I've given link, but only for guidance, available from lots of places, and subject to Latin name changes as well

Another good Do-er, the Shasta daisy type, tough as old boots, will form clumps of white flowers,, only care required is cut down the old stems in winter

Buy a packet of nasturtium seeds, the trailing type, sow & you will have them for life. Dead easy

Others will be along shortly to add to the list, and welcome to the board, we are a friendly bunch so feel free to ask away

Heuchera is always a good bet for interest year round, they don't tend to drop any leaves, or not much anyway and come in all kinds of colours. Better in the ground than pots, where they're prone to vine weevil, but they are also easy to propogate..
