One effective strategy is choosing low-maintenance, hardy plants that are suited to the local climate. Perennials, ornamental grasses, and native flowers often require less care and are resilient to pests and changing weather conditions. Combining these with seasonal blooms can add variety and color throughout the year without increasing upkeep. Proper mulching and soil enrichment further support plant health and reduce the need for frequent attention. Landscape Texas recommends incorporating these elements into flower bed designs to create an aesthetically pleasing garden that demands less time and effort to maintain.
