Seasonal Color Displays
Your entry, every season —
professionally planted.
The front of a home tells its story before anyone gets out of the car. Seasonal color — planted professionally and transitioned on schedule — tells a story of care and attention that generic evergreens and empty containers can't match.
LP times every install to North Idaho's specific frost calendar. Spring color goes in as early as the last frost window allows. Summer transitions happen before spring annuals bolt and decline. Fall color is in before the summer planting looks tired. It's a program, not a one-time plant.
Why LP's seasonal color program outperforms DIY.
Timed to North Idaho's Frost Windows
Planting too early in spring (before last frost) kills the investment. LP knows Post Falls and CDA's typical frost dates and manages timing to maximize the display window — installing spring color as early as possible after frost risk and transitioning to fall color before the first killing freeze.
Curated for Local Conditions
North Idaho gets more intense summer UV at altitude than Pacific Northwest lowlands, cooler nights, and a shorter season. LP's annual selections reflect what actually thrives in our specific conditions — not a generic catalog planted without considering altitude, sun intensity, or water access.
Professional Transitions Without the Effort
Managing spring-to-summer-to-fall color transitions is 6–8 hours of work per season: pulling expired plants, amending soil, selecting and planting new stock, and cleaning containers. LP's seasonal programs handle all of it on a scheduled basis.
Entry Impact for Resale or Year-Round Pride
Seasonal color at the entry is proven to affect first impressions — for guests, appraisers, and potential buyers alike. A consistent seasonal color program tells the story of a well-cared-for property from the curb.
Every phase of the seasonal color calendar.
Spring Color Display — Post-Frost Install
North Idaho's last frost date in Post Falls and CDA is typically late April to mid-May. LP installs spring color displays — pansies, snapdragons, violas, alyssum, and cool-season annuals — immediately after the last frost risk passes, maximizing the spring display window before summer heat arrives.
Summer Annual Installation
LP transitions displays to heat-tolerant summer annuals once temperatures stabilize in late May: Calibrachoa, Lantana, Petunias, Marigolds, Angelonia, Vinca, and Salvia are LP's most-used performers. Summer plantings are selected for North Idaho's combination of high-altitude summer sun intensity and warm but not extreme temperatures.
Fall Transition — Mums, Ornamental Kale & Grasses
LP replaces summer annuals in late August and September with fall displays: garden mums, ornamental kale and cabbage, asters, and ornamental grasses. North Idaho's fall color season — September through first hard freeze (typically October) — can be one of the most striking display periods.
Container and Planter Design
LP designs and plants containers, pots, urns, and window boxes as part of seasonal color programs. Container compositions follow the "thriller, filler, spiller" design approach: a tall focal plant, medium-height infill, and trailing species that soften the container edge.
Entry and Curb Appeal Plantings
Front entry seasonal color beds and foundation plantings are LP's most impactful curb-appeal service. A well-designed entry planting tells guests the property is maintained and loved — and tells potential buyers the same thing at the moment they arrive.
Seasonal Color Subscription Program
LP offers seasonal color programs where LP manages the transitions — spring, summer, and fall — as a package service. The client receives professional-looking color changes three times per season without any planting, watering adjustments, or cleanup required.
