COLOR
Annuals and Perennials
For Westturf Landscape, the landscape bed isn’t merely a collection of flowers and plants, but the punctuation mark on an outstanding project. At the entrance of an office park, mall, or housing complex, floral beds command the attention of passing motorists, quizzical pedestrians, or possible customers. A good rule of thumb is to arrange plants in groups, yet don’t dilute their colors or make the arrangement too distracting. Using annuals for their bold masses of color could be the difference between a ho-hum landscape, and one that is outstanding. A mix of annuals and perennials can be used if the plants are located in strategic areas, such as around signs or near entranceways.
Annuals are plants that germinate, grow shoots and leaves, flower, set seed and die within a period of less than a year. These include calendula, sweet pea and primrose.
Perennials - the general category of perennials encompasses plants with widely varying habits of growth, but all have at least one thing in common: they live for more than 2 years, in contrast to annuals. These include hosta and peony, shasta daisy and coral bells.
