Some plants can grow at the same place for many years, but others have to be replanted regularly.

Therefore, if you want to spend less time on gardening, you should avoid these plants, because they are too high maintenance.

Here are a few examples of such plants.

Annual Flowers

These are plants that complete their life cycle in one year. 

They grow, bloom, produce seeds, and then die. Examples include marigolds, petunias, and zinnias.

You need to replant them each year to enjoy their beautiful flowers.

Vegetables

Some vegetables are also annual plants. They grow, produce fruits or vegetables, and then their lifecycle ends. 

Popular examples are tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans. 

To have a fresh harvest each year, you'll need to replant these vegetables.

Bedding Plants

Bedding plants are often used to add color and interest to garden beds or containers. 

Flowers like pansies, impatiens, and begonias fall into this category. 

They provide vibrant blooms for a single growing season, so replanting them every year keeps your garden looking lively.

Certain Herbs

While some herbs like rosemary and thyme can be perennial (meaning they come back year after year), others like basil, cilantro, and dill are annuals. 

These herbs grow, produce leaves, and eventually flower and set seeds. 

To ensure a fresh supply of these herbs, it's necessary to replant them annually.

Some Fruits

Certain fruit plants, such as strawberries and watermelons, are considered annuals. 

They grow, produce fruits, and then their lifecycle ends. 

To enjoy a harvest of these fruits every year, you will need to replant them.
