Flowers and scents all year long – what else could you expect from your garden, whether a common ground garden or container gardening? You just have to be careful about picking the right plants for this, in general unassuming plants that require little care. Take a look below at flowers that bloom all year round:

Sedum also known as stone flowers – its blooms shine when gardens need color the most, becoming brighter as summer makes way for autumn. Their flower color improves as the temperatures cool. The succulent foliage can be green, variegated or purple and for some varieties turns yellow, orange or red in late fall.

Hibiscus, originating from Europe, has spread across the Mediterranean basin. It forms huge blooms, up to 8 inches in diameter, on a shrubby upright plant that you can train to grow as a tree. Individual blossoms last only a day or two, but plants bloom freely from late spring through fall and occasionally through winter, if given enough light and water.

Marigolds are very versatile flowers since they enjoy full sun and hot days and grow well in dry or moist soil. This quality is one of the reasons that they are often used as bedding plants and container plants. Once marigold flowers are planted, they need very little care. If they are planted in the ground, you only need to water them if the weather has been very dry for more than two weeks.
