10 Easy-to-Grow Plants for Inexperienced Gardeners

If you don’t know the difference between a plant and a tree, that’s OK. You can still have an awesome garden with these easy-to-grow plants.

Rosemary

Rosemary is a perennial plant and will grow year-round. It can be grown in either a pot or the ground, but it prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Rosemary grows up to 2 feet tall and has blue flowers with white centres that bloom from June through August. The leaves are long and needle like and have an aromatic scent when crushed or rubbed between your fingers (which makes sense why they’re used so often in cooking).

Rosemary does well indoors as long as you provide plenty of sunlight for it to thrive! Rosemary also makes for great companion plants–they repel pests such as aphids, flea beetles, cabbage worms/moths/butterflies/caterpillars…you name it!

Lavender

Lavender is a perennial herb that’s easy to grow, whether you’re an experienced gardener or a novice. You can use lavender in cooking, as part of your potpourri and as an aromatherapy. It also makes for some lovely cut flowers and will bloom throughout summer and into autumn if you keep it well watered. The essential oil from this plant has been used since ancient times for its relaxing properties, so if you feel stressed out at work or home (or both), try breathing in some lavender oil before bedtime–it might just help you sleep better!

Lilies

Lilies are a great choice for the beginner gardener. They’re not only beautiful, but they smell amazing and can be grown in pots or the ground. If you want to grow lilies indoors, look for one of these varieties:

• Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis)
• Crinum lily (Crinum asiaticum)

If you’d prefer to plant them outside and enjoy their fragrance from afar, consider these options:  * Calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica)  * Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.)  * Japanese Show Lily (Lilium longiflorum)

Sage

Sage is a perennial plant that can be grown in pots or in the ground. It’s often used in cooking, making it a good choice for those who want to grow their own herbs and spices.

Sage is easy to grow from seeds, though you’ll need some patience: it takes about six weeks before your plants will be ready for transplanting into soil (or potting). Once they’re ready, sage is easy to transplant because they don’t have deep roots–just make sure you give them plenty of water until they’re established! Sage needs full sun and well-drained soil with lots of organic matter added into it at planting time so that moisture doesn’t collect at the bottom of containers.

Mint

Mint is a perennial plant that can be grown indoors or outdoors. You can grow it in containers, but the easiest way to keep mint happy is by using it as part of your garden. Its small, grey leaves have an aromatic scent and make it an excellent choice for adding fragrance to your home. Mint also has many uses in cooking and tea!

Mint makes an excellent ground cover because of its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements; however, if you want something with more height then this plant may not be right for you (it tends to spread). If you want something shorter but still looks good then try making bonsai trees out of mint instead!

Marigolds

Marigolds are a great choice for any beginner gardener. They’re an easy-to-grow plant and hardy, so you don’t need to worry about your marigold plants dying in the winter. They also make excellent companion plants, which means they help other plants thrive by deterring pests and attracting pollinators. Marigolds contain vitamin C, so they can be eaten fresh or dried as a tasty snack!

Parsley

Parsley is an easy plant to grow, and it’s a great addition to salads. It can also be used in cooking and as a garnish on many dishes.

Parsley is easy to grow from seed, but if you want your plants to have more of an impact on the landscape, consider planting them in containers or window boxes instead of directly into the ground. Parsley likes full sun but will tolerate partial shade as well.

Thyme

Thyme is a perennial herb that grows in many different climates and soil types. It’s often used as a culinary herb, but it also has many health benefits. It can be grown from seed, cuttings or division.

Cactus and Succulents

Succulents are easy-to-grow plants and inexpensive, making them a great choice for beginners. If you’re looking for an attractive plant that won’t take up space in your garden, a cactus is also a great option. Cacti are even more popular than succulents because they have such long-lasting blooms and can be grown indoors as well.

If you like the idea of having something unusual growing in your home but aren’t ready to commit yet, try potted ficus or dracaena plants next time around! These plants require little attention so they make excellent gifts if you know someone who’s been wanting one but hasn’t decided what kind yet—or if there’s simply nothing else available at the store right now (which may happen during busy holiday seasons).

These plants are easy to grow, but don’t think they are boring.
