15 Top Native Plants of the Mountain West

Try these tough, low-maintenance plants for a beautiful, easy garden.

Kelly D. Norris

Pasque Flower
 

Pasqueflower

One of the first flowers to wake up in the spring, pasqueflower bears lovely silvery foliage and cheery purple blooms. It has an extended season of interest thanks to its graceful seed heads that remain showy through early summer. Allow it to reseed and it will establish a small -- non-aggressive -- colony in your garden.

Name: Pulsatilla patens

Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil

Size: To 1 foot tall

Zones: 4-9
