So that they don't need a lot of water, fertilizers, and you don't have to pull out the weeds. Surprisingly, such flowers exist and can be sown in flowerbeds.

Plant osteospermum
Few summer residents know or have seen this plant.
The inflorescence is very similar in shape to a chamomile, but it is much brighter and the flower petals are shiny.
There are tall and short ones, with large and small flowers, bright or calm colors.
In other words, everyone can choose a flower to their taste.
When to sow
The plant is sown with seeds at the end of February or from the beginning of March without preliminary soaking of the seeds to a depth of 1.5 cm.
The plant prefers loose soil, does not like excess moisture, but loves light.
At first, this annual plant will need to grow in warmth (about 20 degrees Celsius), and after 2-3 leaves appear, the seedlings are pricked out.
After 6-7 leaves appear, pinch the stem, and then the flower grows into a lush bush.
