Native Grass Seed Mix

  • DISEASE RESISTANT
  • DROUGHT TOLERANT
  • MAINTAINS GROWTH DURING WINTER

Native Grass seed is specifically designed for those consumers who want a completely drought-tolerant, disease-free lawn after establishment. This mixture may also be used for pasture, range, and soil stabilization on the south-facing slopes in altitudes up to 6,000 feet. Endophyte free grasses provide good grazing. Additionally, animals would have a hard time grubbing these grasses out because of the low crown heights. Recommended sowing times: May, June, and early July. This mixture will be slow to germinate and must be kept moist until the seeded area is completely established. These grasses are low growing, blue-green to medium green in color, with a fine leaf texture but coarse feeling to bare feet. Buffalograss and Native Blue Gramas are particularly slow-growing, which eliminates the need for weekly mowing. Not recommended for shaded areas.

Care Requirements

LIGHT

The Native grass seed prefers to be in full sun. Which is perfect for those 300 days of sun here in Colorado.  

WATERING

This mixture will be slow to germinate and must be kept moist until the seeded area is completely established. Once established, the lawn needs watering about once per week. 

SOIL

This grass seed likes to be planted in a prepare seed bed with amended soil. Remove any rocks or clumps of soil.  Great for most Colorado soils but if you need to amend your soil ask a City Floral expert for help choosing the right soils for your yard. 

FERTILIZER

Fertilizing your lawn at least 4 times throughout the year. The best times are in early spring, early summer, mid-to-late summer, and fall. Each time requires a different type of fertilizer, be sure to ask a City Floral expert for help determining which fertilizer to use.

A living work of art you'll love having in your home. Aglaonema houseplants (also known as 'Chinese Evergreens') can grow almost anywhere in your home. Aglaonemas are slow-growing, attractive, and make excellent foliage plants. It will tolerate low-light and grows well in bright spots. In fact, it doesn't even need natural light and will do just fine in offices with fluorescent lighting. Keep soil evenly moist, and your aglaonema will be happy.
Air plants

Air Plants

A wonderful low-maintenance and versatile plant. Tillandsia plants grow a lot differently than a traditional houseplant. If you are someone that has trouble keeping a houseplant alive, an air plant might be exactly what you need. They require almost no attention and are very hardy. Air plants prefer bright, indirect light so they work well on walls and shelves. Their wispy look creates interesting textures. Additionally, they can be attached to almost anything and put almost anywhere, your imagination is the limit with air plants.

Allium Bulbs

Allium bulbs can produce large blooms the size of a softball. These blooms are very fragrant and add a wonderful texture to any garden. They work the best planted in groups of three or more. Stop in after Labor Day every year to check out the selection of allium bulbs we have in stock here at City Floral Garden Center.

Care Requirements

LIGHT

Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.

SOIL

Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers.  

FERTILIZER

If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.

WATERING

Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.

Our Advice

  • Allium flowers need full sun for the best blooms. 
  • Plant allium bulbs when temperature is consistently in the low 60’s or lower. 
  • Allium bulbs and flowers enjoy having soil that is well-draining and has organic matter. Amend the soil with top soil, compost and organic material. 
  • Fertilize when planting the allium bulbs with either Espoma Organic Bulb-tone or Hi Yield Dutch Bulb Food. Applying fertilizer at least 3″ below bulb will make sure the roots get the most from the fertilizer. 
  • Plant allium bulbs 4 – 6 inches deep with the old roots facing the ground and the pointed end facing up. 
  • Water the planted area immediately after planting but no additional watering in fall or spring is necessary. 
  • Apply a 2 – 3 inch layer of  mulch to the planing area in mid to late fall.
