If you’re a novice gardener, spring is the perfect time to get started. You even won’t need a green thumb with these low-maintenance picks.

 

Pansies

Pansies

Pansies are a popular spring flower thanks to their vibrant purple and yellow hues and ease of maintenance. They’re hardy enough to withstand a light frost, making them perfect for early spring. Pansies prefer partial shade but can tolerate full sun, too.

 

Marigolds

Marigolds

If you want to add a bright pop of color to your garden and repel pests at the same time, choose marigolds. This flower is a popular pick for beginner gardeners for good reason. They thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, so if you’ve had a problem with plants drying out in the past, marigolds could be the solution.

Zinnias

Zinnias

Need another flower that can withstand hot or dry conditions? Try zinnias. These bright and bold flowers will continue to bloom throughout the season if you deadhead the plant regularly. 

Cosmos

Cosmos

Cosmos are an easy-to-grow flower that will add a touch of whimsy to your garden. They love full sun and well-draining soil like marigolds and zinnias. They’ll also continue to bloom through spring and summer.
