Gardening for Colorado Springs?

Question

I need to know what flowers, plants, shrubs, etc. grow well in the COlorado Springs, CO area.

I placed this in this section because I didn't get a good response from gardening--I think most ppl spend all their time in this section! :)

Answer 1

I thought all the links I provided where rather good...and I spent nearly a half hour researching your question. If you reasearch the website, you'll find a list of over 400 plants that is suitable for Co. Sprongs. Not knowing what your looking for makes it hard to narrow down to a list of 5 or 6 plants I'll repost the link for you just in case you missed it.

Sage and lavender grow well in Colorado...

However, the city of Colorado Springs has it's own horticulture and education center... I am sure they could give you the best options!

perhaps you should ask this question in the local section under Colorado, or a gardening section. Unless you are wondering about mythical plants that can grow in Colorado Springs...
