Default most satisfactory plants

I'm always interested in plants that people have in their gardens
that are very satisfactory. I'm not looking for plants that need
alot of TLC. I mean the ones that pretty much grow on their own
without extra care. For example, at the top of my list would be
spiderworts. They bloom for months if deadheaded occasionally.
The blooms are nice colors- blues, pinks and purples. They
spread slowly. The greenery ranges from dark to chartreuse.
Cleome would have to be my favorite annual. Lovely, showy
flowers that bloom for months. Colors range from dark pink to
white. Tanzy is my favorite border filler.

For shade lovers, the most satisfactory would be hellebores.
Marcy introduced me to them. They make absolutely no demands.
They grow in 75% shade, bloom in late winter just when you need a
little boost and don't seem to get too large (so far at least).

So, what's on your list?
Jenny
