My roommate just bought a house and wants to do some new landscaping/planting. He's fairly lazy and won't want to plant new things each year. I think daffodils and tulips are cool b/c they come back by themselves every year. And aren't boxwoods the one that smell like cat pee? Any suggestions would be welcome!
What are some easy to maintain plants/shrubs?
If you like the blossoms I'd get some iris which bloom later than the tulips and daffodils.
Forsythia gets those pretty little yellow blossoms very early in the year even before the tulips.
Good Gardening.

Reply:The easiest perennials are day lilies, peonies and iris.
Reply:Never heard of Boxwood smeeling like pee but they and Photinia are very good and easy and hardy shrubs/bushes to plant, they make a nice hedge.
As far as bedding plants/flowers, just tell him to look for flowers that are perinnial, there is an abundance of them!
Daffodils and Tulips as you mentioned are bulb flowers and can be tricky. Good Luck
