Description

Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our Soft Colors Inferno Strip Pre-Planned Garden was created by renowned Colorado garden designer Lauren Springer. When faced with the prospect of revitalizing or removing a strip of dying Kentucky Bluegrass on her property, she replaced it with a beautiful combination of tough, xeric, lower growing perennials. This garden is designed for an inferno strip (also called hell strip or parking strip, the narrow space between the sidewalk and street). It includes a mix of North American native plants as well as plants from around the world that thrive in hot, sunny, sites like those found against garage walls, along driveways, or in raised brick planter beds. Pair with our Soft Colors Inferno Strip Grass Collection and our Soft Colors Garden Fall-Planted Bulb Collection.

Planting & Care

Planting Care

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success Organics™ Soluble Mycorrhizae Root Inoculant.

Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success Organics™ Soluble Mycorrhizae Root Inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
