What is a low-maintenance plant?
A low-maintenance plant would be a plant that does not require frequent dead-heading to look it’s best, does not require staking, frequent division, should not be invasive, and does not require heavy fertilizing to maintain a good habit. Some examples would be joe-pye weed, the cult of our gateway as an example, which is a very dynamic low-maintenance plant. Another wonderful one is Angelicas. My favorite is the Angelica Gigas, which is a large architectural plant that is low-maintenance and very hearty.
