This year, I&S’s Outdoor Services team planted a new “campus colors” garden featuring the CU red cockeral sunflower. The garden creates a beautiful gateway to campus on the west side of the broadway multi-use path, south of Pleasant Street and west of Hale Science.
The garden design features the university's colors with dark millet and three kinds of rudbeckia: Denver daisy, Indian summer, and prairie sunset. To add contrast, we included Artemisia “Parfum d' Ethiopia” for a touch of silver and “white imp” Bidens for early blooms. We hope you enjoy this vibrant and thoughtfully curated garden!
Sunflowers can also be found in other locations on campus, such as the north side of Regent and in a roundabout near Fleming.
