Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener of Prescott, shared the 10 flower trends you'll see everywhere this year. From drought-resistant flowers to using fun containers, there are some fun and decorative trends you can put in your garden this year.
The start of the planting season brings many new trends, making it a great time to think about what our homes might look like as we enjoy time outdoors. This makes it especially fun to daydream and which flowers we can expect to see in the gardens this year. Here are the top 10 flower trends we see in gardens this year.
Gardeners are looking for lower-maintenance gardens that still offer beauty. This means planting flowers that can withstand hot temperatures and less rain. Due to our changing climate and the desire for easier care, hardy, drought-resistant perennials like Russian Sage, Catmint, Agastache, Yarrow, and Coneflower are popular. Remember, low maintenance does not mean no maintenance; these plants still need occasional watering and attention.
Flower gardens are shifting towards more muted and earthy colors. Think dusty pinks, lavenders, soft peaches, and gentle whites. These colors bring a sense of tranquility and blend well with traditional and cottage garden styles. McKenzie Lain, general manager of Watters Garden Center, points out that these hues are not just for interiors anymore; they create a soothing atmosphere outdoors. Want more gardening tips?
