How to garden for the Colorado region - Lakewood Sentinel

For example, Echinacea purpurea or purple coneflower, is a popular flower known for its late summer color and its medicinal properties. However, Echinacea angustifolia is the species native to the western United States — it is drought-tolerant and thrives in our native, lean soils. Another example of a native species is Liatris punctata, which is better suited to Colorado’s dry and lean soils than the more commonly found Liatris spicata Kobold. Cultivated native plants boast improved aesthetics and naturally thrive in our region. Gaillardia aristata is a short-lived perennial that is native to the western half of the United States. The cultivars of this plant are many and for good reason. Often, blanket flower can become floppy and look unkempt. Cultivated varieties offer bunchier plants with flowers that are bolder, brighter, bigger and longer-lasting. Another example is rubber rabbitbrush, which is widespread in Colorado. You see it along roadsides, including Interstate 470, Route 85/Santa Fe Drive and in the open plains. The fact that it grows along highways and in open country indicates that it is one tough plant! Rabbitbrush is an excellent pollinator plant and the dwarf cultivar, Ericameria nauseosa ssp. nauseosa baby blue form, is an easy-to-grow, soft textured, manageable and tidy garden plant. Whatever you plant, remember: Have fun and enjoy! Identifying and utilizing plants that are well-suited to our region makes gardening work much easier. Luckily, much of this work has been done for us through the Plant Select™ Program (www.plantselect.org). This program, a partnership among Denver Botanic Gardens, Colorado State University and the horticulture industry, identifies and trials plants for our region. Plants that meet the program’s criteria are labeled Plant Select and can be found at your local garden centers— just look for the Plant Select tag! Whatever you plant, remember that while Colorado has unique gardening challenges, we have unique plant solutions as well!

Flower growers see sales wither as planting season launches - CBC.ca

Demand for non-perishable items pushed decorative plants out of the supply chain in last month's stockpiling frenzy, while the ongoing shutdown of garden centres in jurisdictions including Ontario and New York has cut off critical points of sale, threatening to leave growers high and dry. "This is when we sell. We're on the cusp of a critical period," said James Farrar, director of the Canadian Ornamental Horticulture Alliance. Trees, bushes and bedding plants are usually planted between May 1 and June 15, he said, with customers ranging from backyard gardeners to municipalities. In Ontario, flower producers discarded about 40 per cent of their Easter crop, according to Flowers Canada Growers. The province has designated garden centres as a non-essential service — a painful exclusion for the industry, since nearly two-thirds of Canadian production stems from Ontario. Neighbouring New York and Ohio have also forced garden centres to lock their doors, while Michigan and Vermont have banned retailers from selling non-essential products, including home gardening items. "If they don't open, the damage is going to be astronomical," said trade group head Andi Kuyvenhoven, noting garden centres' crucial role for bedding plants in particular. British Columbia — the second-biggest flower and plant producer — Alberta and Manitoba and have allowed garden centres to keep running, while Quebec deemed them essential along with nurseries as of April 15, though not in time for Easter. Kuyvenhoven, who with his wife co-owns a $2.5-million business selling potted Chrysanthemums and indoor calla lilies — largely to U.S. distributors — on a pair of farms west of Toronto, says clogged supply chains south of the border remain a problem. 'I haven't slept in five weeks' "U.S. customers for a time closed their distribution systems to floral and so the main grocery chains were not purchasing plants," he said, which was hard on growers of cut flowers such as roses and tulips. "If a truck can take 24 skids and four skids were flowers, the flowers came off the trucks and they put more food on the truck — which we completely understand. The only challenge is, when you're growing flowers as we do, they also have a shelf life," said Kuyvenhoven, who bought his bu... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/flower-growers-hamilton-1.5546023

'A shame to throw all those out': Flamborough flower grower feeling the strain from COVID-19 - The Flamborough Review

We grow all year round — we just ramp up production for holiday seasons.” Juraschka said more than 90 per cent of the company's product is sold into the GTA through the Ontario Flower Growers Co-operative auction system, which sees 150 growers sell a diverse array of flowers to buyers from a Mississauga facility each week. “All kinds of florists buy either directly from the Ontario Flower Growers or through wholesalers,” he said. In addition, he said another factor impacting the business is that other flower growers who were unable to sell their product in the United States — many in the Niagara region — started selling their surplus product into the GTA. “The Toronto market quickly became saturated with product from everywhere,” he explained. “It’s only natural — everyone has invested many weeks of growing into their products — and the crops coming off now have some of the highest heating costs, lighting or hydro costs, because they were grown through January and February, which tend to be the coldest (months) of the year.” Juraschka said all the crops for Mother’s Day are already in the ground, having been planted 12 weeks in advance — in this case mid-February. He said chrysanthemums have to be disbudded to make them the right shape — work that is currently taking place. “We’re going forward with that on the assumption that Mother’s Day will at least be somewhat of a market,” he said. “I’m not sure what next week will bring. “We want our staff to keep having work, we want to get through this, we want Canada to get through this.”... https://www.flamboroughreview.com/news-story/9921592--a-shame-to-throw-all-those-out-flamborough-flower-grower-feeling-the-strain-from-covid-19/
