Sierra Vista is home to hundreds of native and non-native plants. Many of these plants—such as honeysuckle and yarrow—require very little work to look beautiful in any Sierra Vista yard. Read on to learn what to plant in a new yard.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle shrubs create a large and beautiful addition to any Sierra Vista yard. They can grow up to four feet in height and width, and they produce a variety of beautiful tubular flowers. These flowers will often attract hummingbirds and butterflies, which can then pollinate a nearby garden or provide a lovely sight for homeowners.
Quail Bush
Quail Bushes are non-native shrubs that require very little work on the part of a homeowner. They can reach heights of twelve feet and grow just as wide. Quail Bushes are deciduous shrubs that grow well in full sun during the spring and summer. They make effective windbreaks, or hedges, to cut down on noise pollution and heavy winds in a neighborhood.
Yarrow
There are several types of yarrow perennials to suit any homeowner’s personal tastes. For example, the Moonshine Yarrow plant grows silver-gray leaves with yellow flowers, while the Fernleaf Yarrow grows green, fernlike leaves and offers a variety of colors. Yarrow perennials are non-native, but they grow well in the full sun and low-water conditions of Southern Arizona.
Evening Primrose
Evening Primrose is a perennial plant native to the Sierra Vista area. It is a beautiful, open flower that requires a little to moderate amount of watering. It also grows well in full sun. However, homeowners can plant Evening Primrose bushes near a wall, tree, or the house to receive a little bit of shade throughout the day. This will keep the flowers and plant from burning during the summer.
