Late last year, Pantone named “Very Peri” as its 2022 Color of the Year. According to a statement from Pantone, “Displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives.”
The floral industry is one of many that thrives based on color trends, which is why Greenhouse Grower reached out to growers and breeders and asked them to highlight some of their variety offerings that reflect Very Peri. Check out the slideshow above for one more look at some of them. Did you miss our previous slideshows with more colorful plants? Check them out here and here.
