Here are some of 2008’s color themes & IDI’s flower choices:
- Spring - Pansies in blue yellow and mixed.
- Summer - Annuals in shades of pink, yellow, blue and purple to include: fanfare impatiens, hot pink celosia, Blazin Rose iresine, coleus, wave petunias and Sunshine Blue caryopteris.
- Fall/Winter - Mums, cabbage/kale, pansies or evergreen are suggested for planting. Winter is the time for holiday decor, lighting up exterior trees and decorating building exteriors.
