These are the perennials that bloom in fall
(September - October) that are
normally offered by Phelan Gardens.
Plants are shown with the X-rated system where applicable. Stop by
to check on availability, to look over the selection and to obtain
growing advice from our professional staff. (All measurements are
heights at maturity.) As a way to encourage the use of plants that
do well in our region with limited water, the Garden Centers of
Colorado have developed a three-level "X-rated" system as shown
below.
X = thrives in slightly dry conditions
with moderate water
XX = thrives in dry conditions with low water
XXX = thrives in dry condition with very little water
