Trees typically do not provide seasonal color in the same way that perennials, bedding plants, and annuals do. While some trees do exhibit beautiful seasonal changes, such as flowering in spring or vibrant fall colors, many trees maintain a more consistent color throughout the year, especially evergreen species. The term "seasonal color" is often associated with plants that change significantly with the seasons, offering blooms or foliage variations that are visually striking at different times.

In contrast, perennials, bedding plants, and annuals are specifically cultivated for their ability to produce vibrant flowers or foliage that changes with the seasons. Perennials come back year after year, often blooming in specific seasons, while annuals and bedding plants are typically chosen for their seasonal display, providing color from spring through fall. This makes trees less of a focus for seasonal color in horticultural contexts compared to the more colorful plants.
