Aurora Triangle

Aurora St. Triangle is at the intersection of Aurora Street and East State Street. With the construction of the adjacent seven-story City Center, the Beautification Program has redesigned and replanted Aurora Triangle. The site now consists of annual and perennial plants, including a number of native varieties. A succession of tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinth bloom in the spring. Perennials are planted around the perimeter, including salvia, nepeta, iris, and panicum (switchgrass). Amsonia, helenium, and rudbeckia triloba surround a center area reserved for colorful annuals. Our annual display will change from year to year, but is typically a combination of canna, zinnias, petunias, and sweet potato vines that spill out over the curb. Self-seeded sunflowers pop up, along with giant purple amaranth and cleome. Learn more about the plants at Aurora Triangle from the list on this page! Click on the map to see a larger version.
