Xeriscape garden seeds

Hello, Everyone,

With such dreary weather, I’m sure everyone is starting to have fantasies about spring. The Botanical Interest Seed company introduced a new line of seeds this year. They partnered with the Denver Botanical Garden to create a line of xeriscape seed choices. Some of them are even native to the Chihuahuan Desert.

The choices include: Agastache Hummingbird Mint, Nodding Onion, Scarlet Globemallow, Little Bluestem Grass, Artemesia Fringed Sage, Prairie Aster, Yellow Coneflower, Showy Fleabane, Gaura, Firecracker Penstemon, Cutleaf Coneflower, Salvia Prairie Blue, and Hoary Vervain (verbena).

This company already had some of our favorite natives in packets, including chocolate flower and mealycup sage.

Botanical Interests also packages a large packet of wildflower seeds that includes many of the best choices for our desert gardens.

Come in now, while the seed selection is high to fill your garden with low-water, native wildflowers.

Let’s enjoy this rain, since it means a wonderful show of poppies in a couple of months.
