Sunset Hyssop

This drought tolerant and long-blooming herbaceous perennial goes by many common names such as Threadleaf Giant Hyssop, Rock Anise, Hummingbird Mint, and Licorice Mint, but you will always know it by its anise or root beer scented flowers and foliage.

A must-have for any hummingbird garden, the Sunset Hyssop has a long bloom period (summer to fall) in which it is covered in brilliantly colored flowers.

Orange Carpet Hummingbird Trumpet

If you have been looking for the one plant that will attract hummingbirds to your yard, the Plant Select ® 2001 Orange Carpet Hummingbird Trumpet may be that plant. From the species Zauschneria garrettii 'Orange Carpet', this herbaceous, perennial ground cover grows fast from rhizomes (horizontal underground stems).

Tickseed

A perennial stalwart for the garden is Tickseed (Coreopsis spp.) in the Asteraceae family. They form 1-2 foot mounds that are easy to grow in fall or spring. An added bonus is that most are deer resistant, cold and heat tolerant, and xeric once established.

There are many species to choose from since they are adaptable to most Colorado soils, and several are native plants in the West. They bloom from June to September, with some blooming into October.

Sea Holly

Sea Holly is an interesting xeric plant family (Eryngium), especially if you are looking for striking blue-purple flowers. Although not true hollies, the cones look similar. They have a distinctive bract collar which adds great interest.

A few varieties of Sea Holly are adapted to the Front Range and tolerant of drought, high winds, cold, and heat.

Milkweed

Native to Colorado, showy milkweed and common milkweed play an important role as hosts to monarch (and other) butterflies, and there's an added bonus. They're easy-keepers! Well-adapted to different soil types and thriving in full sun, milkweeds also are extremely cold hardy and overwinter without any special maintenance.

Ruby Voodoo Rose

Ruby Voodoo Rose is a wonderful addition to a xeric garden, providing intense fragrance and large multi-toned double blossoms. It blooms first in late spring and then repeats moderately through the summer.

Ruby Voodoo was chosen as a Plant Select specimen due to its vigorous and attractive growth habit as well as its great disease resistance.

Hens & Chicks

There are many species and cultivars ofSempervivum, commonly called Hens and Chicks or Houseleeks. Because they are a hardy succulent, they have fleshy leaves in a rosette shape that varies in size, shape, color, and texture.

Colors can be various shades of green, pink, and red. SomeSempervivum have cobwebbing on their leaves!

Dwarf Lavender

Dwarf lavender plants are varieties of English Lavender,Lavandula angustifolia, that grow well in Colorado climates, even those with slightly poor, alkaline soils.

Foliage is gray-green, and flowers range from dark purple to blue-purple to light purple. All varieties have aromatic scents and are well suited as hedges, borders, containers, or en masse for swaths of color.

Blue Grama

Blue Grama Grass, Bouteloua gracilis, is the official state grass of Colorado. It's a native prairie grass important for animal foraging, preventing soil erosion, and providing food for various birds, butterflies and moth caterpillars.

In the home garden, varieties of Bouteloua gracilis may be used as ornamental grasses, in rock garden groupings, or as a low-traffic lawn alternative.

Yarrow

Yarrow, a member of the Aster family, is a colorful, perennial group of plants. The Latin name Achillea is thought to reference Achilles of Troy, an early botanist who used yarrow to treat his wounded soldiers.

Many varieties are available in various shades from white and lilac, to yellow, orange, and red. Best of all, yarrow is virtually pest and disease free and tolerant of drought, salt, and cold.

Snowberry branch with pink flowers, white berries.

Common Snowberry

What's in a name? Plenty, in the case of the Common Snowberry's scientific name: Symphoricarpos albus. The Latin "symphori-" means connected or together, and "carpos" means fruit. "Albus" means white.

Long after its small pink flowers have fallen in late summer, the Snowberry also stands out in winter with the contrast of white berries against bare brown stems.

Kintzley's Ghost® Honeysuckle

A delightful addition to a xeric garden is Kintzley's Ghost® honeysuckle, a family heirloom plant recently brought back into cultivation. It is a hardy honeysuckle vine with showy silver bracts that last all summer long. Once established it is very low maintenance.
