I need to know the best low maintenance plants to use throughout the year.
My grandfather has recently become wheelchair bound and can't be in the garden
for too long. He loves gardening and wants to continue. thx

Rockery plants look after themselves. Aubretia gives colourful flowers
Shrubs look good but would need to be removed when they get too big.
Bulbs give flowers for a short time and can be left to die back without actually having to make them look tidy by removing the dead leaves.
Heathers ( erica ) grow slowly and have colour for most of the year.

Thanks this is really helpful and has given me some good ideas for a christmas present.
