So, what is seasonal color, and why does it benefit commercial properties in Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside, and other areas in our region? Seasonal color refers to rotating the flowers and plants on your property throughout the year. This can create a fresh appearance. Of course, a successful seasonal color program requires selecting proper plants, preparing the soil, irrigation, fertilizing, and ongoing maintenance.

For example, in the fall, you can add a dash of pink to your property’s monument with Tropical Hydrangea. For winter rotation, Poinsettias are a safe bet for adding holiday color. If you’ve ever been to or driven by the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, you’ve likely seen a sea of Ranunculus, an excellent choice for adding shades of pink, orange, yellow, red, white, or purple to your spring mix. Come summer, add Zinnias, a sun-loving annual that brings bright red, pink, orange, yellow, or white (among others) to entryways and commercial beds.
