Trends in the Garden for 2025
As we welcome the growing season, it’s time to look at what’s trending in gardens for 2025. Whether you’re planning a full makeover or just adding a few new touches, these fresh ideas are sure to inspire!
Color of the Year: Teal
According to the Garden Media Group, Teal is the must-have color in the garden this year. It’s a cool, calming shade that pairs beautifully with lush greens and vibrant florals. You can introduce teal through outdoor décor—think pillows, umbrellas, or painted garden chairs—but why not go a step further with plants?
Look for foliage and blooms in teal and blue tones, like:
Beyond Blue Fescue Grass
Yucca
Blue Hostas
Eucalyptus (annual)
Blue Star Juniper and Blue Chip Juniper
Blue Star Fern (Phlebodium aureum – perfect as a houseplant or seasonal outdoor accent)
These cool-toned plants will add an unexpected and elegant splash to your garden.
Green Drenching
Inspired by the interior design trend of “color drenching,” green drenching takes it outside—creating a monochromatic, immersive look using a spectrum of greens. Layer textures and tones through foliage, evergreens, grasses, and green-blooming plants to build a cohesive, calming space that feels deeply connected to nature.
Living Fences
Privacy meets beauty with living fences! Use a mix of evergreen shrubs, flowering hedges, narrow trees, or even tall annuals to create natural barriers. These green walls define space, add privacy, and bring structure to your garden—while also providing food and shelter for birds and pollinators.
Hummingbird Havens
Want to bring a little magic into your garden? Attract hummingbirds with shallow bowls of water and nectar-rich, tubular flowers. These tiny marvels love:
Bee Balm (Monarda)
Garden Phlox
Lupins
Red Hot Poker (Kniphofia)
Hollyhocks
Columbine (Aquilegia)
Coral Bells (Heuchera)
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia)
Foxglove (Digitalis)
Lantana, Penstemon, Scarlet Sage, Trumpet Vine, and Honeysuckle
Once they start visiting, you’ll find yourself watching them for hours!
Edibles in the Landscape
Who says fruits and vegetables have to stay in the veggie patch? This year, blend edibles into your ornamental garden. Tuck strawberry plants along paths or use blueberry shrubs for their lush foliage and tasty harvest. This approach makes your garden not only beautiful but delicious too.
Water-Wise Gardening
As water conservation becomes more important, drought-tolerant gardening continues to trend. Design with intention—use boulders for structure, mulch to retain moisture, and hardy plants like:
Yucca
Ornamental Grasses
Sedum
Junipers
Alpine and rock garden plants
With a little creativity, water-wise gardens can be just as vibrant and inviting.
