Yew (Taxus spp.) is a versatile and attractive shrub that can be a great addition to landscapes in Colorado. Here are some virtues of yew in this region:

Drought Tolerance: Yews are relatively drought-tolerant once established, making them suitable for Colorado's dry climate. They can thrive with minimal watering, which is beneficial for conserving water resources.

Shade Tolerance: Yews can grow well in partial shade, making them suitable for areas with dappled sunlight or under larger trees. This property is particularly useful in landscapes where sunlight is limited.

Evergreen Foliage: As an evergreen shrub, yew provides year-round greenery. This can enhance the aesthetic appeal of gardens and landscapes throughout the winter months when many other plants are dormant.

Variety of Forms: Yews come in various forms, including low-growing ground covers and taller specimens. This diversity allows for versatile landscaping options, whether used as a border, hedge, or specimen plant.

Wildlife Friendly: The berries produced by yew are attractive to birds, providing a food source in the winter. The dense foliage also offers shelter for various wildlife.

Low Maintenance: Yews are generally low maintenance and do not require extensive care. They can be easily pruned to maintain desired shapes and sizes.

Adaptability: Yews are adaptable to different soil types and can tolerate a range of pH levels. They can thrive in well-drained soils, which is often a characteristic of Colorado gardens.

Longevity: Yew shrubs can live for many years, which means they can be a long-lasting feature in your landscape.

Deciduous Protection: In colder climates, yews have been known to protect other plants by acting as a windbreak, reducing the impact of harsh winter winds.

When planting yews in Colorado, it's essential to choose the right variety suited for your specific conditions and to ensure they are planted in appropriate soil with good drainage. Overall, yews can be a valuable addition to Colorado gardens, offering beauty, functionality, and resilience. Currently included in our Spring Fever Sale!

THE GREENHOUSES ARE IN FULL BLOOM

REMINDER: Greenhouse plants have been living in 'ideal' conditions thus far this year. A process called 'Hardening Off' is important to ensure their successful transition to your outdoor spaces.

Holy Grasshoppers!

While a definitive 2026 Colorado grasshopper forecast isn't available yet, it's highly likely that grasshopper populations will be high again this year, potentially matching or even exceeding the levels seen in 2024-5, which were some of the worst on record. Colorado State University Extension Services have indicated that drought conditions and the warm, dry conditions of the past year have created favorable conditions for grasshopper outbreaks. 

We have a solution! Eco Bran is used for controlling various insect pests, particularly grasshoppers, crickets, and other chewing insects. It contains 2% carbaryl, an insecticide, impregnated onto a wheat bran carrier with attractants. Eco Bran is environmentally sensitive, targeting only insects with chewing mouthparts and is effective when consumed by the pest. It has minimal impact on beneficial insects, including bees and this 2lb bag covers approximately 2 acres depending on your distribution rate.

If you want exceptional outdoor pots this year or just want to take a break from designing and planting them yourselves, let our Custom Container Planting Program do it for you! We will plant your outdoor pots with a one of a kind, high quality design that will be unlike any other basket or container you could 'just buy'. We specialize in specific mixes that are either just plain stunning or those that cater to pollinators and / or critter resistance. This service is available to both residential and commercial clients and can be utilized just once or all year long.
