Terra Nova Nurseries has released a list of 23 plants forecasted for popular landscape, garden and patio applications due to their corresponding hues and shades with several recently announced 2025 paint colors of the year.
Terra Nova’s breeding and marketing teams developed the "Terra Nova Colors of the Year" plant list to align with the 2025 color trends of four leading North American paint brands.
The trending colors for 2025, identified through focus groups and color studies conducted by each brand's color experts, include Behr’s Rumors, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams’ Quietude, Minwax’s Violet and Valspar’s Encore.
“The 2025 colors of the year present a diverse spectrum of hues that are both adaptable and expressive,” said Chuck Pavlich, director of new product development at Terra Nova Nurseries. “Our curated plant list not only aligns with these trending shades but also serves as a source of creative inspiration for gardeners and landscapers looking to incorporate stylish colors into their garden and landscape aesthetics for the upcoming year."
