Colorscape Gallery-
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 the
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 which has a bloom cycle three
months or less, dependent upon the weather, whereas Perennials can bloom as long as a year
or more in some situations but is also susceptible to the weather, as with Impatiens and
“Santana” winds. Most people
consider the Annuals as being the “showiest” of the two. As we accumulate enough new images from our
Monthly Property Reports, generally every two months, we will continue to add them to our
Colorscape Gallery.
It is our hope that those clients who like to be involved in
the selection of the Seasonal Color can use the images as an aid in determining seasonal
color combinations for their project’s colorscapes.
Obviously as time goes on our collection of colorscapes will get more
comprehensive and therefore more useful. 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
