This is the eleventh in a series. If you haven’t been keeping up, you can go back and read my first post about Gardening Between Denver and Boulder, and from there go to the second, third,etc. Or, go on from here to my last Gardening Between Denver and Boulder post.
If you are a Colorado gardener, especially in the area between Denver and Boulder, I’d love to hear about your favorite plants.
August 27 - cosmos. Some people don't like these because they spread by seed. But they're a nice tall, airy flower and I say bring 'em on! Come in white and pinks.
August 28 - butterfly bush. It's sweet scent and huge blossoms are a welcome treat every late summer.
August 30 - cat mint. You know how to tell a plant is in the mint family? The stems are square. Roll a stem in your fingers and you'll feel it. And then your fingers will smell good!

I write posts on the communities between Denver and Boulder, to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area. Read more about life in Arvada, Colorado. And here’s a little intro to Olde Town Arvada.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly suburbs northwest of Denver. Read what past clients have said about me.
