Attn: Gardeners! This is when you should keep an eye out for the first signs of spring so you know what to plant next year to make your garden come to life more quickly.
In the next several weeks, nature begins opening the curtain on early-riser trees, shrubs, perennials and the many varieties of bulbs that were planted last fall.
Medium green leaves appear later in spring, followed by dark red edible but sour-tasting fruits that mature in mid-summer. Two trees will help with fruiting. Fall leaf color ranges from green, yellow to purple while winter exfoliating bark adds even more seasonal interest. Can a low-growing, ground-covering shrub have it all? Yes, this low-maintenance, drought-tolerant shrub discovered near Pawnee Buttes in Weld County provides year-round interest. Pawnee Butte Sand Cherry stands 18 inches tall and 4 feet wide. It starts out with loads of fragrant white flowers in April that attract bees and butterflies and later in fall produces black cherries that wildlife adore. The small leaves turn a showy purple-red in fall.
Plant pasque flower in full sun and well-drained soil. It is quite drought-tolerant once established. Avoid heavy fertilization. Unfortunately, deer like this plant. Plant with spring blooming bulbs and place in front of a sunny border and rock gardens.Harriett McMillan, horticulture specialist at Echter’s Nursery and Garden Center in Arvada, says that spring blooming “bread and butter plants in the landscape shouldn’t be overlooked.
