Plants in the Pantone Color of the Year

Every December, Pantone names a Color of the Year, and every spring gardeners ask us what blooms in it. Here is every Color of the Year since 2000, newest first. Click any color swatch to open the Plant Club color wheel and see the perennials, annuals and shrubs we're aware of that bloom in that shade.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.
