Terra Nova Nurseries to debut new introductions, catalog at Cultivate’23

Terra Nova Nurseries recently announced it will display several never-before-seen plant introductions at Cultivate’23, booth# 1121, 1321, NV62, NV64. In addition, the company will release a new print and online catalog supplement.

The new varieties debuting are from a select range of genera, including bergenia, geum, heuchera, penstemon, rudbeckia, scabiosa, and sedum. Terra Nova selected these plants as introductions for the coming year in recognition of their superior improvements over prior cultivars as well as their performance-focused, best-of-breeding traits.

Terra Nova’s exhibit at Cultivate’23 will portray an authentic garden setting, providing show-goers with a range of plant applications for borders, beds, containers and more. The booth will showcase a collection of varieties that are new for 2023-2024 and many previous favorites.

Some of the individual debuts to be displayed at Cultivate include:

A new addition to Terra Nova’s VINTAGE series, Bergenia ‘Bouquet’ is highlighted by its clumping growth habit and clusters of large, lavender-pink flowers, displaying perfectly in gardens and containers.

Terra Nova’s never-before-seen varieties, among other returning favorites, are explorable via the company’s 2023-2024 “mini” plant catalog, which was collaboratively conceptualized by Terra Nova’s marketing team as an updated supplement to the company’s larger digital catalog from last year’s Cultivate show.

Terra Nova staff members designed the supplement to enhance viewers’ plant selection experience with a streamlined approach to perusing the new plant and programs guide for easy browsing, buying and learning purposes.
