Plants that thrive on neglect

These plants will make your garden shine without a lot of pampering

Every Garden has a few neglected, forgotten spots, whether it's along a little-used walkway,
on the other side of the shed, or around a corner you never turn.These are not the places
you want to plant perennials that need to be watched over and coddled. They'll just languish,
and halfway through the season, you'll come upon them and feel a sense of guilt. What you
need in these places are plants that can take care of themselves. You need plants that aren't
picky about how much light they get and don't pout if you forget to water them once in a while.
They can make do with just a yearly trim and still look fabulous. You can count on them to
thrive-no matter what. We asked gardeners from across the country which plants fit in this
category, and these plants rose to the top.
