All About Xeriscape

It may surprise you, but this entire yard is xeriscape! The plants in this landscape are all well adapted to Colorado and grouped according to water need which makes the best use of water in the landscape. The turfgrass is a dwarf tall fescue and looks great with 2/3rds the water of traditional grass. A tip for large yards like this one is to plant in groups to create unity and interest and to choose larger xeric shrubs where possible to help reduce maintenance. 

Some plants found in this landscape are:

Walker's Low Catmint

Thornless Cockspur Hawthorn

Russian Sage

Gro-Low Sumac

Turf-type Tall Fescue

Pineleaf Penstemon

Moonshine Yarrow

Munstead English Lavender
