This vibrant space is home to a mix of annuals and perennials, carefully chosen to bloom across seasons and support pollinators. You’ll find bursts of color from marigolds, zinnias, and cosmos in the summer, alongside hardy perennials like echinacea and yarrow that return year after year.
But what makes this bed truly special is its celebration of Colorado’s native flora. Many of the flowers here are indigenous to our region, adapted to thrive in our unique climate and soil. Native plants require less water, support local wildlife, and help preserve the ecological heritage of the Front Range.
At the heart of the bed is the Rocky Mountain Columbine, Colorado’s state flower. With its delicate blue and white petals, the Columbine is more than just a symbol, it’s a reminder of the resilience and beauty of our native ecosystems.
