list THE
PLANTS that we produce for the Colorado Springs location along with a
brief description of each plant, including water needs of the established
plant, mature height (ht) and spread (spd), flowering characteristics,
light requirements, and so forth As
much as possible we give mature plant sizes that you can expect to find
in this region. Plants
in our nursery are all tagged with name, size, and price.
Just a couple more thoughts about selecting plants:
looking only at plant hardiness zones will not give you best
results for plant selection. The
average annual minimum temperatures for even the highest parts of our area
are above -30 degrees F. putting us in zone 4.
Wind, aridity, ultraviolet rays, and soil conditions put us
generally at more like zones 2 to 4 but even selecting only zone 2 plants
is not the whole solution.
Most
important in selecting plants, within cold tolerance range, is their
adaptability to soil type and moisture.
Within that range of plants seed
source is extremely important. A
plant from a mild climate source may die before it adapts, while a plant
from a northern or mountain source will flourish.
Where you plant in your
yard and/or how the plant is planted ultimately may be critical factors in
the success or failure of even a biologically correct plant. CTF
will help you with these considerations. |
