What are some common Spring Perennials for Colorado?

Answer:
Colorado hardiness zones range from 2 to 6,

with some small pockets into zone 7, which represents fairly significant differences around the state.

According to Growit.com website, Colorado is sort of divided into thirds regarding the planting zones; the eastern and western thirds being more or less within zones 5 and 6; while the central third (and a small segment in the northwest of the western third) is more within zones 2 to 4.

All that said, Colorado is a gardener's delight when spring breaks out, as are most states in their own unique ways. This article covers some perennials that Colorado gardeners use for spring blossoming beauty; primarily in planting zone 5.
