Imagine your backyard garden bursting with color, and filled with scintillating scents. Beautiful flowers and plants thrive in Colorado, as long as you plant native flowers and plants for Denver and the Front Range. Here are some of the favorites.

\n\n\n\n

Colorado’s State Flower: the Rocky Mountain Columbine

\n\n\n\n

While every state has an “official” bud, few are as beautiful as Colorado’s. The Rocky Mountain columbine returns with its white and lavender buds every spring. They’re drought-tolerant, thrive in light shade to filtered sunlight, and prefer well-draining soil. These flowers grow quickly from seed and bloom in April through July. With many hybrids to choose from, you can add columbines to any garden or landscape for a diversity of color.

Shrubs

You can find many native species of small shrubs at nurseries and garden stores in the metro area. Look for these varieties:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Planting indigenous Colorado greenery in your landscape or garden helps you and the environment. The vegetation adapts well to Colorado’s changing climates, soil conditions, and environment. Native species need little maintenance or water and are more resistant to pests and diseases than invasive plants. They also lure local wildlife — birds, pollinators such as bees and mammals (bunnies and squirrels.) Increasing urbanization leads to lost natural ecosystems. Planting native species ensures our natural resources will be around for the next generation.
