Description

From two of Colorado’s leading native plant experts, this accessible and colorful guide to planting natives will help gardeners at every level of experience add beneficial pollinators to their home gardens. 

Bring Your Garden to Life—and Life to Your Garden!

The Rocky Mountain Native Plant Primer introduces 225 wildflowers, grasses, cacti, shrubs, and trees across a broad range, including: northern New Mexico, northern Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, much of Idaho and Montana, the Texas Panhandle, and the western halves of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. As the Rocky Mountains and High Plains grow in population, temperatures rise, and water becomes scarce, this book focuses on the role that native plants and water-wise planting can have in fostering sustainability for all life in the region.

This is a wonderful guide to native garden plants for the region. There is a lot of information about native plants, the ecosystems of the area, cultivars, etc and then a page of detailed information with a large photo for each plant, divided into categories. So many beautiful and diverse plants were featured that it made me wish they were native to my area. A great resource.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book online for review.
