10 low maintenance plants for a stylish garden

10 beautiful low maintenance plants - holiday homes need really easy care gardens because guests don't garden and there's little time when pro gardeners can access the garden. So I visited Chimney Farm Barns in Oxfordshire where Posy Gentles has designed easy care gardens to echo the stylish interiors.

5:31 Low maintenance plants - Broom (Cytisus scopolarius 'Burkwoodii") - but note that yellow 'Scotch broom' is highly invasive in North America, Australia and New Zealand. However, this variety 'Burkwoodii' has an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
