InstaColor! Instant Color Annual Installation System

InstaColor! Instant Color Annual Installation System

Our revolutionary InstaColor annual system is an easy seasonal color option for any landscape. 

During a Landscape Magic tour at Disney in 1991, the idea for this system was born.  Witnessing Disney’s ability to completely switch out an entire mass of annuals overnight was an impressive sight to the visionary who founded Fullmer’s Landscaping over 50 years ago.  From that experience our InstaColor system was born.

 Our local grower starts the growing process in early February, directly in a plastic tray system like the one shown here.  One 12”x24” open webbed daisy tray is  nested inside a solid tray of the same size.  Next the growing medium is placed directly into the trays and planted with your annual order.  After three months of controlled growth in the greenhouse, the flats are bursting with color and ready for your front walk!

While the growing process is somewhat standard throughout the industry, what sets our method apart from all competition is the flat system and installation. 

 Once delivered to your site, the solid tray is removed and set aside to be reused again next season. The remaining slab of color (plants, undisturbed root system, and daisy tray) are then carefully placed in a prepared planting bed and surrounded with mulch.  Instantly the space is transformed to bright summertime.  There’s no long wait for full color. There’s no significant disturbance of the root system, so the plants continue growing.  There’s no room for weeds to sprout between the plants, because they’ve already filled in.

InstaColor, instant summer.

The life-span of annual bedding plants is from frost to frost.  We begin planting after the last frost in mid-May, and remove the plants around the first frost in the fall.  While our revolutionary tray system makes installation very efficient and easy, it also makes removal an easy process.  We simply lift the plastic daisy tray out of the ground, discard the tired plant material, and stack the flats so they can be reused for next year.
