You Don't Need a Green Thumb to Grow These Plants!
Catmint
Our short growing season and
harsh climate make it difficult for many plants to thrive in Wyoming.
Are you looking for a flowering plant that's almost certain to flourish
here? Take a look at three plants that don't require much water, need
little or no fertilizer and can handle a variety of poor soils.
They include:
* The catmint family of plants, especially 'Walkers Low' catmint. This
hybrid will bloom in sunny gardens all summer long with beautiful
lavender flowers.
* Dark Knight Spirea, a shrub from Mongolia that begins to flower in
late August through September with deep blue to purplish flowers. Note:
don't plant this spirea in heavy clay soils. And it grows best in zones
5-9.
* And the old standby - irises. Irises come in an extraordinary array of
colors from black to white and everything in-between.

with one or all of these easy-to-grow plants!
