Looking back, the color trends of gardens and plants have undergone subtle and profound changes in the quiet passage of time. From the quaint and elegant English gardens to the passionate and unrestrained Mediterranean ones; and let’s not forget the exquisite and delicate Japanese gardens. The ingenious combination of different colors has endowed gardens around the world with unique soul and temperament. These changes are closely related to the aesthetics of the times, emotional appeals, and social and cultural development trends.

From pastels to bright and lively accent colors, here are the top color trends for plants and gardening in 2025, according to green industry experts.

1. Teal

Soft, tranquil blue-green tones will be a prominent feature. It not only relieves people’s visual fatigue but also brings vitality to the garden. Planting blue-green fescue in large green plants, the fine blue-green leaves contrast with the green leaves of green chrysanthemum and hosta, enriching the layering and color diversity of the garden by making the entire green area more lively and interesting.

2. Warm terracotta color

The earthy appeal of terracotta is making a strong comeback. This rich, warm color evokes sun-kissed pottery and ancient Mediterranean landscapes. When combined with the bright orange of marigolds, zinnias, or the first blooms of some lilies, it creates a vibrant and inviting atmosphere.

3. Pink and lavender

Delicate pinks and lavenders will continue to radiate charm. These colors are perfect for creating romantic and fragrant corners filled with roses, cherry trees and lavender bushes. Pink cherry trees can form a canopy over a seating area, while nearby lavender plants emit a soothing aroma. Whether it is a small balcony garden or a spacious manor house, this trend satisfies people’s yearning for nostalgia and a place to relax and daydream.

4. Soft tones

If bold colors don’t suit your aesthetic, muted tones may be more in line with your style. For an atmosphere of elegance and simplicity, a monochrome white garden will always remain a classic. White lilies, daisies, and moonflowers create a serene and ethereal atmosphere. The purity of white can make a small space seem larger and more open, while also providing a backdrop for other elements in the garden, such as a sculptural fountain or a piece of garden art.

How to use color trends to create a personalized garden

First, choose the right color combination according to the size and layout of the garden. If the garden space is small, you can choose fresh green tones or natural neutral tones to make the garden look more open. If the garden space is large, you can try vibrant warm tones or calm cool tones to create a landscape with layers and visual appeal.

Secondly, pay attention to the proportion and matching of colors. It is better to use one or two main colors, and other colors as auxiliary embellishments. At the same time, consider the contrast and coordination to avoid glaring and messy matching.

Finally, select plants based on their growth habits and seasonal changes, and reasonably match them to make them beautiful in all seasons.

These color trends will provide gardening enthusiasts with plenty of inspiration and options in 2025. It is important to note that some of these colors are difficult to obtain directly in outdoor spaces, so it is recommended that you choose this color when using decoration to decorate your outdoor (garden) space through flower pots, wall art and garden furniture.
