About Our Seasonal Planting Services in Scotts Valley, CA
A well-executed seasonal planting programme begins with a site assessment that identifies the areas best suited to seasonal colour display. Highly visible positions near entries, along foundations visible from the street, in containers on patios and porches, and at focal points within the landscape are the most effective locations for seasonal plantings because they provide maximum visual impact relative to the area being planted and the maintenance investment required.
Spring planting begins as frost risk diminishes with cool-season annuals that perform best in moderate temperatures. Pansies, violas, snapdragons, stock, and ornamental kale produce excellent spring colour and withstand light frosts that would damage warm-season plants. As temperatures rise and cool-season annuals decline, we transition to warm-season plantings. Selection varies based on sun exposure, with full-sun positions receiving heat-tolerant species like vinca, zinnias, portulaca, and lantana, while shaded positions receive impatiens, begonias, and caladiums.
Autumn planting replaces the warm-season summer display with cool-season species that carry the seasonal colour programme through the cooling months until frost. Ornamental grasses, asters, garden mums, pansies planted for autumn and winter performance, and ornamental peppers provide extended colour in autumn arrangements. Container arrangements in autumn frequently combine multiple plant types for textural contrast that reflects the richness of the season. We replant established beds and containers efficiently to minimise the visual gap between seasonal transitions.
