The Rocky Mountain Native Plant Primer introduces 225 wildflowers, grasses, cacti, shrubs, and trees across a broad range, including: northern New Mexico, northern Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, much of Idaho and Montana, the Texas Panhandle, and the western halves of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. As the Rocky Mountains and High Plains grow in population, temperatures rise, and water becomes scarce, this book focuses on the role that native plants and water-wise planting can have in fostering sustainability for all life in the region.
