Good-Looking, Low- Maintenance Landscapes

摘要

Regardless of the type of project, a top concern for facilities professionals is budget. Everyone wants beautiful landscapes that bloom all year long and are easy to maintain, which lowers operating costs. One way to achieve aesthetically pleasing, low-maintenance landscapes is to incorporate native, drought-resistant plants.rnSome native plants are readily available, and most require less maintenance. Native plants also tolerate seasonal changes better, need less water, and require fewer pesticides and fertilizers. (For the information specific to your region, contact your local cooperative extension or university.) Perennials, such as Barrenwort (Epimedium), are good for dry shade, and don't need to be replanted. Another attractive, hearty perennial is the Black-Eyed Susan.
