GRANITA® pussytoes (Antennaria dimorpha 'PJS03S') is a native western groundcover with tight silver foliage, tiny blooms that sit right on top of the leaves, and almost absurd toughness.

✔ handles drought
✔ thrives in rocky soils
✔ evergreen in many western gardens
✔ no deadheading needed
✔ looks good even when not blooming

Built for western gardens.
Built for real conditions.

Plant smarter.

Some plants whisper.
Leprechaun southernwood shows up and changes the whole mood of a garden.

We love seeing how designers are using this tough little Artemisia in real landscapes, and these projects by Tree of Life Landscapes are a perfect example. Soft texture. Bright chartreuse foliage. Sun or shade tolerance.

Leprechaun southernwood handles heat, drought and western conditions like a champ. And in these gardens, it does something else really well: It makes everything around it look better.

Proof that low-water landscapes don’t have to feel sparse or severe. They can feel layered, vibrant and full of movement.

Thanks to Tree of Life Landscapes for sharing these beautiful projects with us.

Thinking about ditching your lawn? Start now.

If turf conversion is on your list, spring is your moment.

Come summer, it takes way more water to establish new plants.
Cooler temps + spring moisture, hand or drip watering (allowed in drought) = a much easier, smarter start.

Plant now, and you’ll use less water getting plants established.
Wait until summer, and you’ll be fighting heat, evaporation and higher demand.

Smarter timing = less water, better results.

Born for a milestone. Built to last.

Denver Daisy was created to celebrate Denver’s 150th anniversary, and turns out, it wasn’t just a one-year wonder.

It’s a Colorado-grown classic:
- Loves the heat
- Needs less water
- Brings in the pollinators
- Puts on a show all summer

150 years of Denver.
And at least that many compliments headed your way if you have this plant in your garden.
