Staff Picks Under $19

Affordable Plants Chosen by Gardeners Who Know Them

The team that curates this page includes horticulturalists and gardeners who field questions about plant performance, garden design, and what works in real garden conditions. These staff picks reflect that. Some are workhorses. Some are underrated varieties that deserve more attention. Some are plants the team keeps recommending because they consistently deliver.

Since this page rotates seasonally, the selection shifts as planting windows change. Check back in spring for cool-season performers, in summer for heat-tolerant options, and in fall for plants that go in the ground now and pay off next year.

If you're building out a lower-maintenance garden, our low-maintenance perennial garden favorites is a good next read. And if you're figuring out what kind of garden fits your space and habits, how to grow a garden that you love is worth a look before you finalize your picks.
