Gro Low Sumac – A beautiful, easy creeping shrub for slopes, rock garden or to use as a 2-3′ tall ground cover. This low-maintenance drought tolerant plant comes to life in the fall with striking scarlet-orange leaves all the while smothering weeds and attracting song birds and butterflies.
Dark Knight Spirea – When other shrubs fade, this 3′ x 3′ compact plant lasts long into the summer with similarities to the Blue Mist Spirea but with slightly darker green leaves and deeper blue flowers. This low-maintenance drought tolerant plant brings bees to help pollinate your garden.
Limelight Hydrangea – Growing up to 6’ or cut low with maintenance, this durable plant can serve a variety of services especially since it stands tall against the Colorado sun. Covered with lime green flowers from mid-summer through the fall, this is a keeper for all hydrangea lovers here in Colorado.
Korean Spice Viburnum – Standing 6’ tall with a delicious fragrance, this shrub is one of the smaller viburnums with much to offer. Its dense round growth can easily be pruned into a specimen shrub or a screen planting. A gray-green leaf that turns bronze-red in the fall, it produces pinkish red buds in the spring that open to clusters of white flowers.
Summer Wine Ninebark – A medium-sized plant with cream-colored flowers in the late summer, it has dark red leaves that last all season with cinnamon colored exfoliating bark. Great as a perennial border, this tough adaptable shrub tolerates the semi-arid Colorado climate well.
