Coneflower

Who doesn’t want flowers that bloom forever? Well, maybe those flowers don’t exist because of seasonal changes, but these flowers come pretty darn close. Blooming for up to six months out of the year, coneflowers are a great option for gardens that do not require much maintenance.

Million bells are similar to the classic petunia, except that they are much smaller. Their fine details express their beauty regardless of their side. They are usually grown in pots and require regular watering. Taking care of these flowers will make your garden more eco-friendly and sustainable as they attract a ton of helpful insects.
