Terra Nova Nurseries releases Pantone-inspired plant list
Terra Nova Nurseries has released its annual Pantone Color the Year plant list based upon PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse for 2025. The curated collection of plant pairings by Terra Nova includes four best-of-breeding varieties that beautifully embody the brown tones of Mocha Mousse, showcased through dynamic color transitions in both foliage and flowers.
“The connection between Mocha Mousse and Terra Nova’s paired plant selections is deeply rooted in Pantone’s concept of ‘thoughtful indulgence,’” said Chuck Pavlich, director of new product development. “The 2025 color speaks to the desire for comfort, simple pleasures and meaningful connections — a theme also reflected in Terra Nova’s companion plants, which reveal striking impact on garden and landscape designs with brown and mocha colors.
Finishing growers, retailers and landscapers are invited to explore Terra Nova’s collection of color-forward plants, displayed in burgundy, bronze and other statement browns, paired with corresponding greens, pinks and purples. The tailored plant roster offers a versatile foundation for creating serene, luxurious garden spaces inspired by the natural comfort and indulgent character of Mocha Mousse.
