Standout color
This family was looking for a seasonal color design and installation that would stand out from all the competition in their neighborhood.
The home is located on an elevated lot with a steep incline. They were counting on a big and bold color design that could be seen from the street below. To make a bold statement to the neighbors, I designed the upper annual beds with accent plant material that would offer exotic colorful foliage with bold colorful annuals that would stand out from a distance.
A courtyard area in back included containers and the customer wanted a more casual and fun planting arrangement. Hosta, tropical multi-colored croton with Lucky Lemon Lantana, Carita White Angelonia, Blue Plumbago, Euphorbia Hip Hop and Whopper Rose Begonias were used to achieve this atmosphere.
To continue this theme, the grill area had a shade pot with Australian Tree Fern, Whopper Begonia, and White Queen Caladiums.
Left is a closeup of pots in bench area. There was also a succulent pot with aloe, echeveria, senacio, hens and chicks and trailing ice plant for added interest.
