Do the plants in the garden die all the time?

Maybe they are exotic flowers that are not that easy to care for.

This will avoid the problem.

The most beautiful flowers from all over the world now adorn the German gardens.

Regardless of whether you are looking for specific colors or shapes: garden centers and online shops have a huge selection.

Unfortunately, there is often a catch.

If you don't have a green thumb, you could find it difficult to take care of it.

Plants from distant countries in particular usually need a lot of attention.

If you, as a hobby gardener, do not find out how to maintain complicated exotic species, the life expectancy of the flowers may be reduced.

Laypeople who want to create an easy-care garden should therefore carefully consider the choice of plants.

It is a great advantage, for example, to

choose robust and easy-care plants

Make preparations for an easy-care garden

Have you decided to primarily place easy-care flowers in your beds?

All the better.

Still, you should make some preparations

: First, find out which locations your chosen flowers prefer.

Some like it more shady, others like a sunny spot.

In addition, the nature of the soil plays a major role for many varieties.

Do you prefer a sandy or loamy subsoil?

Be sure to plant your flowers where they will thrive best.

Once all of this has been clarified, the question arises how often your dream flowers need water and other maintenance.

If you have a stressful everyday life that hardly allows you to spend time in the garden, you should choose the easiest to care for flowers.

Also, be aware that some plants need to be dug up and stored indoors or in nurseries before winter.

If this is too time-consuming for you,
