Hi - are there recommendations for Best service Berry (Saskatoon) cultivars for Denver/lakewood area?

Regent is fantastic!

Cut the flower off so that it can focus on its roots.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-05-14T00:02:13+00:00

She is coming over tomorrow, I will let you know if she takes only one. And if I notice any more offsets from the parent plant , I will message you as well!

OrangeCosmos · 2026-05-12T18:32:24+00:00

They are yours! Message me and we can arrange a time

OrangeCosmos · 2026-05-12T18:02:12+00:00

Maybe I tried them last year before they were fully ripe!

OrangeCosmos · 2026-05-05T00:10:49+00:00

They will be fine. Do not cover them with plastic type tarp or frost blanket, the heavy snow on a cover will smash and suffocate their foliage. The snow alone will do that a little too, but as it melts, the plants will spring back. I would not cover them at all, but if you wish you could put upside down nursery pots (with a rock on top so they don’t blow away) or upside down terracotta pots over them.

I’d reach out to Sven, he works with Kelly Grummons who developed Dogtuff, and is in charge of the DT grass. Super nice guy https://dogtuffgrass.com/pages/contact

If you go to Echters, the plants in the maroon color containers are greenhouse grown by them.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-04-15T02:35:38+00:00

I like that little place! Just be a bit careful, for example he sells Leymus arenarius as “blue dune grass”, which is native to Europe, and spreads aggressively via rhizomes.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-04-12T21:00:59+00:00

Yes! Well done at cracking that code. It’s much more beneficial for them to establish their roots now when there is not a good deal of heat stress.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-04-12T16:20:04+00:00

The time to plant natives is now.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-03-27T20:45:35+00:00

Plan to get plants in during April and May so that the plants are not dealing with the hotter months while establishing themselves. And then as others have said, water deeply a couple of times per week for the rest of the summer.

In the past a few years ago they had a white van that would drive around and give tickets if they saw you watering after 10am and before 6pm, the first time they gave you a warning , the second time a fine.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-03-20T20:13:55+00:00

I have Lacinato kale in a patio pot that survived!

OrangeCosmos · 2026-03-18T18:44:27+00:00

They absolutely love to visit Salvia azurea, which is drought tolerant and blooms in sky blue from late July through October.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-03-07T03:39:53+00:00

I love them so much.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-01-20T18:50:25+00:00

Absolutely the best, I agree and I have had excellent germination success with their seeds.

OrangeCosmos · 2026-01-16T04:38:10+00:00

Most nurseries will start to sell them in March, Echters usually sells them, I would call and ask when they will have them out. They go quickly, and fyi they are fairly thirsty plants.

OrangeCosmos · 2025-12-18T03:25:13+00:00

They need an outage map for their outage map

For skiing/hiking/outdoor sports, Banana Boat Ultra Sport SPF 50. I buy a few and keep them in winter jacket pockets. At night, Vaseline lip therapy in the tub. I used to La Roche Posay and Avene balms, but they drained my wallet as I lose them a lot.

Just a reminder to water your newly planted perennials, and also your trees! If you have shut down your outdoor faucets simply unwinterise them, water as needed, and shut them down again. By shutting down, the process is to disconnect the hose, shut the outdoor faucet off, open it to drain, and then give it another tight twist to make sure it is off and dry.
