If you’re looking for a more “manageable” bush, the Cinquefoil Bush is for you. Blooming from Summer to Fall, the branches of this bush are covered with 1-inch single, yellow flowers.
Rose Bush
Never have to run to the store for roses again with a Rose Bush. All they need is full sun, well-drained soil and an area free of competing tree and shrub roots. Protect his bush by covering the plant with loose, loamy, moist soil. Okay, maybe Rose is a little needy, but the blooms are worth it.
Hens & Chicks
Rock gardens are on the rise and we have the perfect little succ’ er to add to it, Hens & Chicks! With only occasional maintenance and upkeep, these grow at a medium rate and can live for up to 20 years; what an investment.
Stonecrop Sedums
Want to love your succulent all year-around? Stonecrop Sedums are winter hardy and require little care. Just plant in well-drained, average to rich soil with full Colorado sun.
Antique Grill Sedums
Opposite of needy, Antique Grill Sedums are reliable, hardy and easy-to-grow perennials that prefer full sun with average to poor well-drained soil.
Gold Nugget
In honor of the excellent basketball season this year, we present the Gold Nugget! An all weather tolerant succulent that can withstand high heat and -30 temps; all they need is full sun! They turn from bright green in the Summer to bright red in the Fall.
Head to some of our favorite local garden centers for all things planting! Ask the friendly experts for advice and don’t forget the gloves!
