Creating a beautiful garden doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, some of the most visually stunning plants are both common and budget-friendly.
A gardener on TikTok shared four of her picks when it comes to affordable perennials that can make any garden look visually beautiful.

In a video, creator BeesJungle started off her list with Salvia.
A member of the mint family, Salvia is a versatile and hardy perennial that can add a splash of colour to any garden.

With its long blooming season and low maintenance needs, Salvia is a perfect choice for gardeners on a budget.
Clematis
Clematis is a popular climbing plant that can add height and dimension to your garden.
With varieties that bloom in spring, summer, and fall, Clematis offers an array of colours and flower shapes, from star-like blooms to bell-shaped flowers.
This versatile climber can be trained to grow on trellises, fences, or arbors, creating a stunning vertical display.
Sedum
Sedum, also known as stonecrop, is a succulent that brings texture and colour to gardens year-round.
This hardy plant is incredibly low-maintenance and can thrive in poor soil conditions, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and containers.
