AT HOME COLORADO

In a state loaded with natural beauty and some of the country’s tallest mountains, Colorado came in at 23rd in the nation for Natural Environment.

Whether you love where you live or you’re thinking about moving to or from Colorado, the Best State Rankings from U.S. News & World Report

BY TOM shows Colorado KALINSKI in the top 20. Colorado ranks 16th in the nation based on seven metrics – drawn from thousands of data points – according to U.S. News & World Report. Categories evaluated for the ranking include state performance on health care, education, state economy, infrastructure, public safety, fiscal stability of state government, and the opportunity the state brings its residents.

“Health care and education were weighted most heavily.

Then came state economies, infrastructure, and the opportunity states offer their citizens. Fiscal stability followed closely in weighting, followed by measures of crime and corrections and a state’s natural environment,” writes U.S. News & World.

Overall, Colorado has the eight largest land mass covering 104,095 square miles and is home to more than 5.75 million people who have a median income of $38,200. Colorado’s gross domestic product (GDP) is $393 billion.

State rankings on each of the metrics ranges widely from No. 2 in economy to No. 45 in

fiscal stability. Following are details on each category.

Health care Colorado ranks tenth nationwide in health care, US News’ highest-weighted metric. Factors considered are access and affordability, health care quality and health outcomes.

Education The second most heavily weighted factor is education. Colorado achieved the No. 5 position in the nation for its performance in educating students in preschool, K-12 and different levels of higher education.

Economy With its years-long low unemployment, it’s not surprising that Colorado’s economy is the second in the country, as measured by the US News metrics of unemployment rates, GDP growth, migration into the state, patents, new businesses and other measures. The top-ranked economy is Utah and Idaho at is third, rounding out the top three.

Infrastructure Colorado is a respectable fifteenth in infrastructure ranking. This measures the quality of bridges, public transportation, power grids and broadband.

Opportunity According to this report – at 41st – Colorado is ninth from the bottom nationwide for the opportunity ranking. The opportunity metric measures

the state’s poverty, housing affordability and equality for women, minorities and people with disabilities. Iowa, Minnesota and New Hampshire rank as the top three states on this measure.

Fiscal stability This ranking tracks the state government’s credit ratings, liquidity, pension fund liability and budget balancing. Colorado is 45th in the nation.

Crime and corrections The state ranks No. 41 on an analysis of its public safety and the quality and fairness of prison systems, including racial bias.

Natural environment In a state loaded with natural beauty and some of the country’s tallest mountains, Colorado should be at the top of this category. The state came in at 23rd in the nation for this measure, which is based on air and water quality and exposure to pollution and toxins. The top three are Hawaii, New Hampshire and South Dakota.

Methodology used for the overall Best State ranking from U.S. News & World Report considers 71 metrics across eight categories and 20 subcategories.

Watch out, real estate: The millennials are coming

With the postCOVID real estate market skyrocketing into the stratosphere and the intergenerational friction between Boomers, Gen

BY SEAN Xers, millennials MCILLWAIN and Gen Zers growing by the headline, the competition for real estate just got even fiercer: the newest generation to enter the real estate market is the millennials.

In 2021, about 4.8 million millennials are turning 30, and many are expected to enter the real estate market. At the opposite end of the generation’s span, the oldest millennials are turning 40 this year, and they’re ready for more space for their growing families – think bigger garages, more bathrooms and upgraded kitchens. For the past decade, the sharing-economy generation has shunned traditional ownership values – but lately, they’ve been shifting their point of view on housing. Here’s why.

Millennials will continue to be dominant participants in housing markets for decades to come.

(Photo: Shutterstock).

The socioeconomic combination of solid career-building, significant investment gains, and rock-bottom interest rates have turned dubious, rent-happy millennials into eager homeowners. And while this may be one of the most competitive times in history to be on the search for a house, millennials are a savvy bunch – they’re not

skittish about the urgent effort required in today’s real estate market.

This generation is chasing the American dream with a passion, and they’re not retreating anytime soon. Many millennials have been on the real-estate hunt for over a year now, encountering multiple offers and bidding wars.

As they’re entering this next stage of life, they’re growing increasingly aware of the benefits that homeownership offers, like building equity and investing for the long term.

With millennials’ resilience and battle-ready stance, their real-estate fervor is reshaping the market for years to come. Barring a housing bubble – which, because of stabler economic circumstances, doesn’t seem likely this time around – new base-level price points are trending higher and higher. Additionally, we’re seeing millennials leave larger cities and heading west and south, with the Denver Metro area as one of the top destinations.

While the average millennial wants a house with a nice backyard in a desirable, quiet

location, they’re more open to multi-family options like condos and quadraplexes. Good schools and attractions nearby are also common wishlist items.

And millennials aren’t afraid to plunk down their cash – current economic trends show that if they’ve got the money, they’ll spend it. New homebuilders are seeing this group of buyers drop the extra cash for luxury upgrades.

(Hello, Sub-Zero appliance suite.)

Considering these trends, it’s clear that millennials are a generation who can quickly – and competitively – adapt to a changing world. They know what they want and they’re willing to fight for it. With this type of internal fortitude, millennials will continue to be dominant participants in housing markets for decades to come. Hey Gen Z, you’re up next: it’s time to show us what kind of real-estate chops you’ve got.

REAL ESTATE NEWS

Fairway Mortgage’s The Rueth Team announces Gabe Bodner as new reverse mortgage division manager

DENVER – Fairway Mortgage’s The Rueth Team is proud to announce the arrival of Gabe Bodner as the team’s new reverse mortgage division manager.

In this role, Bodner will focus predominantly on educating Realtors®, financial advisors, consumers and clients on the often confusing reality of reverse mortgages in order to help clients structure their reverse mortgages for short and long-term goals.

Gabe’s past expertise in reverse mortgages is what led him to this position within The Rueth Team.

A mortgage professional for over 19 years, Bodner has experienced all aspects of the mortgage lending industry as a mortgage banker, broker, sales manager, branch manager and branch owner of a very successful net branch in Silicon Valley, CA. For over four years, he has committed his mortgage lending career to showing people how to utilize reverse mortgages and navigate the process, which is what led him to merge his team with The Rueth

Gabe Bodner

Team.

Bodner states, “It is an honor to continue to build upon the success of The Rueth Team. I’ve long felt that the way retirement is done in this country is broken and along with The Rueth Team, I am on a mission to help change that and improve the lives of seniors in our country so they can live a better quality of life in retirement, and into their golden years.”

Licensed as a mortgage

originator in CO, CA, OR, WA, NV and AZ. He has worked with first-time buyers, investors, flippers, developers and everyone in between, though his true specialty is in serving seniors. As a reverse mortgage planner, Bodner helps seniors evaluate their income and cash flow needs in retirement.

His goal is to help people include home equity into their retirement planning strategy, and he believes that by doing so clients will not only improve cash flow but they can also pay less in taxes and leave a larger legacy for their heirs.

Prior to merging with The Rueth Team, Bodner was a producing branch manager at Fairway Mortgage in Boulder, where he met Peter Rueth, integrations manager of The Rueth Team, over the topic of reverse mortgages. Flash forward three years later when The Rueth Team was re-introduced to Bodner and this partnership blossomed into reality.

Graduating from CU Leeds Business School in 1998 with

a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, Bodner was also in the Army ROTC program and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant upon graduation and spent four years on Active Duty in the US Army and later spent four years in the Army Reserve. Currently, alongside his new position with The Rueth Team, Bodner is also a part-time adjunct professor at CU Boulder Leeds Real Estate School where he assists his customers with their home financing needs by evaluating their goals, time horizons and risk tolerances to educate them and make recommendations on how to best structure their mortgage financing needs. When Bodner is not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, skiing, running, biking, hiking, camping and anything outdoors.

THE LIGHTER SIDE

Post-pandemic: Can we give up our new home-related conveniences? Why should we?

After who knows how many months of this pandemic, it seems soon it will be over (more or less).

I feel this tingly thing: I think it’s called hope. (It’s either that or too

BY MARY much caffeine.)

LYNN BRUNY But our “new normal” will never be like our “old normal.” Staying at home for so long has changed how we live.

We’ve become rather used to our new home-related conveniences.

Why should we give them up now? Things like: Tele-appointments If we don’t need a nurse or doctor to physically examine us, why would we go back to germ-filled medical centers when we can instead have tele-appointments in our germ-filled homes? Same with meetings with other needed professionals such as therapists and fortunetellers. You know, our critical service providers during these times.

Real estate online virtual property walkthroughs These are such timesavers for everyone. Buyers can get a good sense of how a home feels with a click on their computer and easily dismiss properties that aren’t right for them. This is great for sellers too. For many the worst part is preparing their home for showings, making it casually flawless: “Oh, sure, our kitchen island always has two gorgeous place settings with artfully folded

better for the environment but it means fewer distracted drivers doing things like texting while eating a breakfast burrito and applying mascara.

Delivery of everything We have all gotten horribly spoiled about wanting some objects, tapping on our keyboards and having said things miraculously show up on our doorsteps. Not sure if our new distribution channels are more efficient. But people being people, we love convenience so there is no going back. Thus let’s figure out how to do this smartly. How about compostable delivery bags that can be used to pick up dog poop? Seems there’s about an even ratio of daily package deliveries and dog “deposits” happening.

Real estate online virtual property walkthroughs. (Photo: Shutterstock).

cloth napkins and champagne flutes. Just how we live! And our two definitely non-sticky toddlers only have handcrafted, genderneutral, color-coordinated toys that are charmingly arranged in their tasteful rooms. No garish plastic stuff here!” Yeah, right.

Take-out alcohol at restaurants How nice is it to pick up yummy take-out drinks to go with our yummy take-out food? Not only do we residents love this convenience, but it also helps our local restaurants financially recover. I for one am very committed to helping with their recovery by making these purchases. I’m thinking this recovery will take decades, indeed

my entire lifetime. But I’m that committed.

Working from home Corporations have discovered people actually work more from home. (Perhaps because it’s more interesting than doing another gosh darn load of laundry. Does it ever end?) Thus companies can reduce office space and associated costs. Employees have discovered the joys of working from home: There’s no commute, they don’t get trapped by negative Ned in the break room (a huge time and brain cell suck), and that loungewear (for some, pajamas) always beats office wear. Another benefit: There are fewer vehicles on the roads. Not only is this

Super comfortable clothes One retail sector that has done well during the pandemic is loungewear. Sweatpants were rebranded to the more attractive sounding word “joggers.” (Where are we jogging in our homes?

From our computers to the refrigerator?) There are also more super soft fabrics being made into comfortable clothing. Even so-called out-of-style skinny jeans that I definitely don’t have on at this very moment have amazing softness and stretch, great for wearing to pick up take-out food and drinks.

AT HOME COLORADO

LONGMONT – Don’t waste water. Recent downpours, in some areas of the state, have resulted in the Rocky Mountain Sod Growers (RMSG) once again stressing water conservation moving into the growing season. This message is important to the RMSG as work continues with the public and municipalities concerning the science of growing grass, and actual water needs of turf. “Water conservation is important in this state. We want to remind people that grass doesn’t waste water, people do,” said Shane Markham, President of the RMSG. Lack of education concerning the true water needs of turfgrass is contributing to continued water conservation issues, and increased water charges. Scientific research has clearly shown that inappropriate watering practices waste more water than any single plant group.

If you are receiving water via Mother Nature, you don’t need to apply additional water. This is very important, notes Markham.

“Turfgrass water consumption has been studied for years. We know how much water grass requires.

The challenge is to educate the public so that they don’t rely on myths and bad habits,” added Markham.

The RMSG advises five basic rules to keep established lawns in peak condition, conserve water, protect the environment and save money at the same time.

1. Watering in the early morning or late evening hours is more efficient use of water. When watering during the heat of the day, some of the water evaporates before it can be absorbed.

2. Don’t “set it and forget it”.

As weather conditions change, change sprinkler settings to avoid over-watering. Check in to “smart” watering systems that save water.

Your local municipality may offer incentives to purchase such systems.

“Recent rains provided a great deal of moisture in some areas, yet sprinklers were left running in the rain - this clearly wastes water,” notes Markham.

3. Check your sprinkler head coverage - don’t water sidewalks and pavement. Replace any broken sprinkler heads and adjust for maximum coverage.

4. Hand-watering may be required for areas that are under stress. Discoloring is a normal sign of stress. Keep in mind that Kentucky bluegrass, the most common lawn type in our area, is very resilient and is therefore a good choice for this region.

5. Be sure to account for adequate water coverage in windy conditions, as high wind conditions are prevalent in Colorado.

RMSG experts emphasize that bluegrass lawns will thrive on less than one inch of water per week during the growing season. This has been demonstrated through many scientific studies. Water needs change in the fall and winter.

“Scientific research confirms that sod lawns, parks and open areas cool the air while generating oxygen, reducing pollution, controlling soil erosion and purifying and replenishing water supplies,” says Markham. “That is to say nothing of the aesthetic values of sod landscaping and how it positively impacts property values.”

REAL ESTATE

Financing options for renovation or fix-and-flip Springtime has arrived and people are thinking about major renovations, repairs, or restorations on their home – or even purchasing

BY DUANE a home for DUGGAN fix-and-flip.

Realtor and Author Here are a RE/MAX of Boulder few options to consider when figuring out how to fund those improvements.

FHA 203(k) FHA 203(k) is a loan that allows home buyers to borrow enough to both purchase a home and provide the funding for necessary repairs including labor and materials. The end result can be a fixed-up home with a mortgage that could be a fixed rate for 15 or 30 years, or an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM).

The basic framework for the structure of the FHA 203(k) program is as follows: This type of loan is only for those who will occupy the property as a primary residence after renovations are complete and the loan is closed. It is not available for investors.

One of the good things about FHA 203(k) is that you only need to make one loan application for purchase AND the renovation.

The initial funding from the loan will provide the money for the home purchase, and subsequent dispersals of loan funds from an escrow account will pay for the renovations.

The amount which can be borrowed is subject to the FHA loan limit in the geographic area.

In Boulder County the loan limit is $654,350 for a single unit home.

The other determining factors for the loan size are borrower income, credit, and down payment.

The nice part about the down payment is that it is the same as regular FHA financing at 3.5%.

The nice part about the down payment is that it is the same as regular FHA financing at 3.5%.

You can put more down, but if you have a large sum of cash, you probably will not be looking at this program. The low down payment is made possible by the payment of mortgage insurance, which protects the lender in the event of a borrower default. In most cases May 21-22, 2021

options include 15- and 30-year loans and also adjustable-rate options.

Springtime has arrived and people are thinking about major renovations, repairs, or restorations on their home – or even purchasing a home for fix-and-flip.

the mortgage insurance can be included in the loan.

The loan size is also limited to 110% of appraised value and that amount cannot go over the loan limit for the area. An appraisal is done on the home to determine the home’s value before and after the improvements.

There are two types of FHA 203(k) loans. One is designed for limited repair costs of less than $35,000 and one for extensive projects that are going to cost more than $35,000. Generally, you will have more paperwork to complete than a straight purchase loan, especially if the projects are bigger and are valued at over $35,000.

In most cases, the mortgage lender is will require that the renovations and repairs be completed by licensed contractors, especially for items like electrical and plumbing. Check with your mortgage lender to see if you are allowed to carry out any of the repairs on the list yourself. Timing for getting the work done is critical for FHA 203(k) loans. Renovation work must begin within 30 days of the initial home purchase and closing, then be completed within six months of the original closing.

This loan program is designed to upgrade a home’s essentials such as structural repairs, roofing, flooring, plumbing, health and safety issues, and changes that will improve appearance and obsolescence. Luxury items such

as hot tubs, tennis courts, outdoor fireplaces, and satellite dishes won’t be approved items.

It is possible to use an FHA 203(k) loan on your existing home. This amounts to making an application for refinance. Your original mortgage will need to be paid off and you will need to have enough equity to generate cash for the renovations. The cash generated is then held in escrow until the work is completed and the contractors need to be paid.

Closing costs for an FHA 203(k) loan are much like any other mortgage loan. Expect costs such as a loan origination fee, appraisal and inspection fees, title insurance, credit report, and maybe an Improvement Location Certificate (ILC), etc. FHA will require mortgage insurance to be paid both upfront and monthly.

Conventional Fannie Mae has a loan program for renovations called the HomeStyle® Renovation loan. The main advantage is that it is what is called a “single close loan”. You complete a loan closing for the renovation part of the process and when the renovations are done, you don’t need to complete another loan application and closing for the permanent loan.

Using a HomeStyle Renovation loan, the final loan is based on the projected value of the home after the renovation is completed. Loan

Hard money-investment properties only A property in need of serious renovation may not qualify for conventional lending sources.

Hard money is a way to get the property purchased and then structure cash draws to complete the renovation. Once the renovation is complete, the property could qualify for conventional financing or be sold or rented.

When you hear the term “hard money loans,” you might picture money changing hands in a dark alley and rough collection techniques when the loan comes due. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth as hard money lending can be a very valuable and useful tool in many real estate transactions.

In the “regular” real estate financing world, 1- to 4-unit lenders usually need to follow strict guidelines and procedures set out by entities like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Following those guidelines naturally takes time and in a hot market time can make the difference between whether an offer on a property is accepted or not. Hard money lenders use their own money or closely affiliated investors to lend. This enables them to make quick decisions on a loan approval and funding.

Hard money lenders are typically collateral based, which means they look mostly to the property for securing the loan. Hard money is only available for investment property and not for owneroccupied properties. Your Realtor® is likely to have a resource for this type of lending for you.

Cash-out first mortgage If you have enough equity in your home, one of the easiest ways to raise cash for renovation is a cashout refinance. In this case, you get a new mortgage loan to pay off the old first mortgage and enough cash to finance your improvements.

In today’s low interest rate environment, if you start a new 30year amortization, you might find your payment won’t increase that much. Your mortgage lender can help you brainstorm the different options.

AT HOME COLORADO

n the early 1980s, Patrick Dolan fell in love with real estate. After purchasing and selling a couple homes for himself, he realized that it was fun and rewarding. He eventually started the Patrick Dolan Team at RE/MAX of Boulder. Decades later, the team continues to offer a cohesive, multi-faceted approach to the buying and selling homes in the Denver Metro area, utilizing the skills of each team member to the benefit of the client.

A Boulder native, Patrick has been the highest grossing agent at RE/MAX of Boulder since 1991. His many years of success and hard work have earned him recognition, including the honor of the Chairman’s Club, one of the highest single year honors that RE/MAX bestows upon a sales associate, and “The Circle of Legends” Award for Lifetime Achievement. “I love what I do, and I am lucky to do it in a wonderful place in Boulder, Colorado,” he says. “Even after 37 years and 2,800 deals, I still have the same passion and energy every day to try and help people. I appreciate the support from all my family, friends, past clients, and network professionals.”

He is joined by three agents who complete the Patrick Dolan Team: Karolyn Merrill, Kelly Atteridg and Bryce Dolan. “With the longevity of working together, we all know each other very well,” says Patrick. “Karolyn even babysat for Bryce when he was a toddler! Our team is small and well-rounded.

It is rare to find a team like ours who have all worked together for a very long time. We are like family.” The team works as a unit, with each agent bringing a unique touch to the joint effort.

Kelly grew up in Boulder and is a graduate of CU-Boulder. She started her real estate career in 1993 selling new homes for several builders, including Richmond Homes in Superior, where she worked for seven years and developed her passion for working in real estate. She joined the Patrick Dolan team as a licensed sales partner in 2007. Kelly has helped hundreds of families buy and sell homes, specializing in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. “Helping our clients realize their dreams of finding or selling homes is a very fulfilling and rewarding career,” she says. “I’ve enjoyed the relationships and friendships I’ve developed over the years.” Kelly has lived in Superior for more than 20 years, where she BOULDER DAILY CAMERA / LONGMONT TIMES CALL

enjoys running, skiing, hiking, and boating.

Kelly and her husband Bill have been married for more than 25 years and share two wonderful children, Jack (24) and Andie Sue (15).

Karolyn brings to the team a vast knowledge of Boulder County and 24 years of experience in many different types of transactions, including residential, investment, and new construction. She has been with the Patrick Dolan Team for 15 years and has facilitated more than 500 real estate transactions. “We get to work with wonderful people who pass along more wonderful people, and it is so gratifying to help someone seamlessly in what could be a challenging process,” she says. “I love to problem solve and think outside the box to ensure the success of our clients. Every day and every deal have unique qualities and it keeps work interesting.” Karolyn moved to Boulder from Boston in 1991, and enjoys skiing, cycling, and hiking with her doodles in her free time.

She also volunteers for Meals on Wheels in her community.

A third generation Boulder Realtor, Bryce joined the team as a sales partner in 2015.

He has successfully helped many first-time homebuyers find their dream home across the Denver Metro area. “Being able to help people from all different backgrounds, price ranges, and interests get to where they want to go – that’s what it’s all about,” he says.

The Patrick Dolan Team prides itself on being hands-on with your real estate transaction, making every effort to relieve stress and simplify the process for both buyers and sellers. “There is always someone available to take care of our client’s needs,” says Patrick. “We each bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, mixed with camaraderie amongst the team, to give the best service to our clients.”

But it’s not just the agents themselves who make the team so effective. Behind the scenes, Jamie Young and Adison Young bring their impressive coordination and marketing skills to ensure the Patrick Dolan Team is connecting with customers and providing excellent service at every stage of client

“With the longevity of working together, we all know each other very well.

We are like family.” interaction. Jamie, the office manager for the team, has a background in title insurance and grew up around the real estate industry.

“As cliché as it sounds,” Jamie says, “you learn something new every day. It’s been an incredible learning experience and Patrick, Kelly, Karolyn and Bryce have all been mentors to me.”

Marketing Director Adison has worked

with the team for more than 10 years. She designs and oversees both digital and print marketing, as well as the team’s social media presence. “We truly enjoy working with each other and helping our clients,” Adison says.

“Collectively, we create a very diverse team.”

The entire team is grateful to be a part of this wonderful community and they believe in giving back. Over the years, The Patrick Dolan Team has supported many different charitable causes such as Boulder County Share-A-Gift, There With Care, Boulder Valley Humane Society, I Have a Dream Foundation and numerous other organizations. They look forward to continuing their work in the community.

LAWN AND GARDEN

Plant summer bulbs now for splash of color this season As spring bulbs such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinth begin to fade, you can look to their heat loving cousins for a splash of color throughout your garden.

BY DERYN Enter, summerDAVIDSON blooming bulbs, Colorado State University Extension corms, tubers Boulder County and other bulblike structures (often all referred to as bulbs).

With a tropical look – large leaves and big flowers – they will wow your neighbors and bring beautiful interest to your garden all summer long.

Summer-blooming bulbs typically come to us from warmer climates and therefore have different growing requirements than spring-blooming bulbs.

Late May is a great time to start planting them because (hopefully) any danger of frost has past, and soils are starting to warm up. Soil temperature must be above 60 degrees, otherwise you run the risk of them sitting in the cooler soil and starting to rot before they have the chance to grow. With all the spring rain we’ve been getting, you’ll want to wait to plant until after the soil has had a chance to dry out a little. Since they are not hardy here, you will need to dig them up in the fall, store them over the winter and replant in the spring; an extra step that you will be rewarded for come summer. In contrast, we plant spring-blooming bulbs in the fall and can leave them in the ground since most are hardy here in Colorado.

You can start buying summer-

blooming bulbs in early spring from garden centers, nurseries, catalogs, online and sometimes even grocery stores. Earlier in the season you’ll have better selection to choose from, but if you’re looking to buy now, you should still be able to find some gems.

If you buy bulbs in person, you have the advantage of individually selecting what you purchase. Be sure to choose the largest and firmest available and leave behind anything that seems dried out or small compared to the rest – larger bulbs, means larger flowers.

Varieties to try: Dahlias are hands down one of the showiest flowers around. A true showstopper, they come in many different colors, shapes and sizes.

From compact pompoms to the ‘dinnerplate’ varieties, you are sure to find some welcome additions

to your garden. They have a wide range of heights, from two feet up to nearly 20 feet. The taller varieties typically require staking.

Dahlias will be happiest in a nice sunny location where they can truly shine.

Allium are a showy member of the onion family. Grown for their fun, ball shaped flowers that can range from two to ten inches in diameter and come in white, yellow, blue and purples. This is a summer bloomer that can be left in the ground over winter as long as they are protected with a thick layer of mulch during the cold season.

Caladiums are a good choice if you have a shady location. They are grown for their colorful green, pink, red and/or green foliage and do well in containers as well as directly in the ground. They prefer some extra moisture and nice rich

soil.

Gladiolus are a gorgeous addition to your garden and make excellent cut flowers too. Hailing from South Africa, they have been bred to come in nearly every color of the rainbow. You’ll also find them in a range of heights, from four feet tall to the shorter two foot dwarf varieties and prefer a sunny location. If you stagger your planting two to three weeks apart you will have continuous blooms until frost.
