After our unusually mild winter, we’re seeing some surprising growth patterns across the Front Range. Butterfly Bushes and large shrub roses are already leafing out at 5' or higher—well above their typical early-season start.

If we can avoid any "heavy, wet spring snow" breakage, we are looking at a massive growth year for several species. Aside from roses, expect to see significantly less die-back and larger displays from:

Desert Willow

Sumac

Mock Orange

Artemisia

Local project spotlight! ✨ We recently finished up a custom screen wall and xeriscape design for a great client here in Arvada. There’s nothing better than seeing a vision come to life—especially seeing these honeysuckle vines starting to climb! 🌿

What do you think of this low-water look?

Interesting changes to Boulder's landscape code, including "no new junipers will be allowed citywide and must be removed as part of new or redevelopment projects"

The changes ease permit requirements, restrict water-intensive landscaping and ban new junipers, with the new rules set to take effect March 1.
