Stand Out with Annual Color

Annual color planting makes a strong impression all year round. But first, let’s define what an annual is. An annual is any plant that completes its life cycle in a single growing season. Planting seasonal and annual colors displays a positive impression and keeps your property looking fresh all year round.

In the winter, imagine winding beds of Iceland poppies, scarlet and pink Snapdragons, and gold and orange Calendulas, accented with snow-white Dusty Millers. When annuals are strategically arranged as borders along walkways, in planters near sitting areas, or to frame a commercial or retail building entrance, they will not go unnoticed.

Even in this temperate California climate, annual color doesn’t last all year round. We replace plant material with selections that thrive depending on the time of year. It is also important to choose plants based on other factors, including soil type and sunlight and shade conditions that change season to season. This is done to ensure the longest lifespan possible from the annuals.

Our professionals at The Growing Company handle every detail, including designing the landscape, removing old plant material, ground preparation, fertilizing, and installing new plants and flowers. But creating a striking color scheme is not all we do.

We make expert seasonal flower recommendations. Summer/Spring calls for Begonias, Impatiens, Marigolds, Salvias, Dahlias, Alyssums, Vincas, or Dianthus. The Fall/Winter will consist of Poppies, Paludosums, Pansies, Dusty Millers, Violas, and Primulas, and Cyclamens. Our recommendations will give your outdoor areas texture, height, and variety, while at the same time doing our best to cater to your preferences.

In California, it’s feasible to maintain a landscape of vivid color throughout the year. Seasonal color provides an ever-changing, eye-catching landscape that positively impacts customers, potential tenants, and the public. If you want your property to stand out, add some color.
