Seasonal color combinations from our project portfolio

In this section we are accumulating a collection of images and various colorscapes from our project portfolio that represent attractive, functional and/or unique color combinations. Beneath each image is a description of the type of color, along with its season and/or growing criteria.

You will notice that most seasonal color is designated either as an annual or a perennial. Annuals are the shorter-lived seasonal color, with a bloom cycle of three months or less depending upon the weather; perennials can bloom as long as a year or more in some situations, but are also susceptible to the weather, as with impatiens and the “Santa Ana” winds. Most people consider the annuals the “showiest” of the two.

It is our hope that those clients who like to be involved in the selection of seasonal color can use the images as an aid in determining seasonal color combinations for their project’s colorscapes. Keep in mind, however, that there are many factors that determine what type of seasonal color will work in any particular colorscape planter. In addition, the availability of seasonal color, in bud or bloom, is always a matter of timing and can be further affected by the weather. If you would like to be involved in the seasonal color selection, contact your Project Supervisor, who will be happy to review the choices available and help you design the colorscape.

If you have any other questions regarding seasonal color, or are possibly interested in either renovating an existing or installing a new colorscape, please feel free to contact me at rwingard@terrapac.com or 714-567-0177.
