    Hello,
    I live in Milan,Italy(Mediterranean climate). I want to know what are the best outdoor plants that don't need much care .I'm a student,sometimes i'm super busy,so i don't have a lot of time to take charge of them.

    Thanks

    Simone, alas, I don't have any experience of Milan except to know it's a beautiful area and I envy you!
    Usually annuals are the easiest to care for--little pruning needed, removing spent flowers is optional, but they do need watering during a dry spell. You might want to plant zinnias, marigolds, or any of the annuals you see growing in gardens around you.

    Oleander, salvia's, rosemary, perovskia, oregano, lavender...the list is endless almost.

    Here is a Dutch website that I use from time to time. They sell Mediterranean plants. If you scroll through their alphabet of flower names, you can get some ideas perhaps. http://www.bastin.nl/webwinkel.html

    Good luck, meid.
