Seasonal Color
With careful planning seasonal color can be a part of your
landscape all year long. Contact us or call 630.231.0069 to begin
your landscape color rotation plan.
Early Spring
- Bulbs such as tulips, daffodils and scented hyacinths will
start their color display (fall planting required for spring bulb
display)
- Additional color can be incorporated by planting pansies,
dianthus and snapdragons, which come in colors ranging from soft
antique pinks to bright and daring blue.
- Take advantage of your Grant & Power spring cleanup and
plant early spring annuals at the same time.
Late Spring
- Warm season annuals are planted to replace early spring
plantings and provide flowering color all summer long. This is also
a great time to add perennial color to your garden; these additions
to your landscape will return every year with low maintenance.
- Hanging baskets, terracotta pots, glazed bowls and sculptural
urns can be planted to include textures and colors to enhance any
setting.
- Grant & Power can prepare your beds and planters, help you
plan the desired look, plant your combinations. We can also help
maintain your plantings for color all summer long.
Summer
- Many of the annuals that are planted in the spring will bloom
through the heat of summer requiring only the occasional watering,
a bit of fertilizer, and deadheading.
- Perennials and shrubs can be added to the garden to fill voids
and complete the landscape.
Fall
- When early September rolls around it is time to pull the
annuals from planting beds and planters, before they are spent, and
replace them with fresh fall blooming plants.
- Hardy mums and asters are available in a number of colors from
bronze to pink and will provide color well into November.
- The colored foliage of flowering kale is an interesting way to
add texture and color to a fall planting. Kale, with splashes of
burgundy and white, will add a distinct look to your
plantings.
Winter
- Add a holiday touch to your planters with red dogwood stems,
scented cedar and juniper boughs.
- Evergreen roping, swags, decorative wreathes and evergreen
'reindeer' will welcome guest to your home or business.
- We will deliver the holiday favorite, poinsettias. In addition
to traditional red, they come in colors ranging from salmon to
white speckled, poinsettias will brighten even the coldest winter
day.
