Here between Denver and Boulder we've already had our first hard frost, and even a dusting of snow. But the snow melted within minutes of the sun's rising, and today is forecast to be 70 degrees.
That's typically what happens in autumn between Dener and Boulder - all the more tender plants like tomatoes and peppers are killed off and then we have a few more weeks of summer-like temperatures. I tried covering mine this year but did a shoddy job of it and it didn't work. Will try harder next year!
But here's a summary of the flowering plants that did survive the frost, and which will bloom for at least two or three weeks more.
This clematis truly does bloom from spring through first frost, which has not happened yet this year!

How to buy a house Denver to Boulder.
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.
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.
