As we ring in the new year, we look forward to new trends for the horticulture industry. Traditionally, Pantone's Colour of the Year has played a role in influencing those trends. For 2025, that color is Mocha Mousse.
Garnering mixed reviews, some laud Mocha Mousse as warm and comforting. Some say it's giving luxury. Others call it a victory for the "sad beige aesthetic". Whatever your feelings about Mocha Mousse, the color, and its associated floral palette is a perfect fit for horticultural trends, states the A.M.A. Horticulture team.

Floral Pathways Palette containers
A.M.A. Horticulture states that founded on Mocha Mousse, this soft color palette brings floral hues into the neutral aesthetic, which continues to trend into 2025. Here's what Pantone has to say about the palette: "A cornucopia of suggestively scented floral tones blended with a soft mocha and shaded willow green leads us down a pathway of gray cobblestones."
For growers looking to jump on this trend, A.M.A. Horticulture offers a line-up of growing and decorative containers that draw from the soft, naturals of this palette.
Containers pictured above (L to R): Aeroplas Swing Pot in moss green, Van Krimpen DecoTainer in blue, Epla/Desch Mayca Planter in purple, Epla/Desch Imca Planter in pink, Epla/Desch Sabina Pot in praline, Epla/Desch Mayca Planter in sparrow brown, DCN Bistro Planter in khaki, HC Companies Color Bowl in mocha.
