3 INFORMATION ON OUR WILDFLOWER PERENNIALS & GRASSES! Our perennials are pollinator friendly! This means they attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. They are also native plants that grow well in Colorado. Our perennials are available for purchase two ways: 1. Lots of 30 plants. These come in large 7" x 2" tubes. You may purchase 30 of the same plant or subdivide into multiples of 5. (For example: 15 Lanceleaf Coreopsis, 10 Columbine and 5 Blanket Flower or any other combination - in multiples of 5 - is acceptable.) 2. Individual plants in gallon pots.

Prefers full sun, but will tolerate light shade, though flower production tends to be less. Will grow in many soil types, but thrives in well-draining soil feet in height, medium water usage. EASTERN PURPLE CONEFLOWER: Produces blossoms with a distinct reddish central "cone", and lavendar colored petals from April thru September. Prefers full sun and well drained soils. Low drought tolerance. 2-5 feet in height, medium water usage. WILD BERGAMOT: This herbaceous perennial plant grows 1-3 feet high, with purple flowers from 1-3 inches across. Plant will spread up to 1 foot across. Blooms May to September. Plant in full sun to part shade. Medium water usage. ROCKY MOUNTAIN PENSTEMON: A 1-3 foot tall evergreen perennial that will spread as ground cover, and produces tall spicres containing blue or purple flowers from May-June. Prefers a drier, lightweight and well-draining soil, and will thrive in partial shade. 1-3 feet in height, low water usage. Elevation: to 10,000 feet GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower): A native perennial wildflower that grows to a height of 1-3 feet and produces 2-3 inch yellow flowers with bright red centers from July thru September. It will thrive in sunny, well drained soils. Long life span and the ability to readily reseed can lead to aggressive spreading. Medium water usage. Elevation: to 9,000 feet PURPLE POPPY MALLOW: A low growing, spreading perennial that forms a thick mat of foliage up to 3 feet around. 1.5 to 2.5 inch wide, chalice shaped purple and white flowers appear from March thru June.

Thrives in partial to full sun and is tolerant of cold and heat, as well as drought and can survive off as little as 7" of rain. Lower moisture levels will lead to the plant growing in clumps rather than spreading out as a mat. 1-3 feet in height, low-medium usage. Elevation: to 9,500 feet. Good grazing for wildlife and seed grazing birds. LITTLE BLUESTEM GRASS: A medium height grass reaching height of 3 feet by September. Typically grows in clumps ranging from 6-18 inches across.
