Why Choose the Alpine Avalanche Array?
The Alpine Avalanche Array not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your garden but also plays a crucial role in supporting local biodiversity. These hardy native plants are specifically adapted to the unique climates of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, ensuring a robust and resilient garden that benefits both you and the environment.
Planting Tips:
- Location: Choose a sunny or partly shaded area with well-drained soil.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Reduce watering frequency once established.
- Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
