Terra Nova Gets Netflix, YouTube Spotlight
September 9, 2020 
Terra Nova Nurseries recently released a series of new videos showcasing the company’s select bold foliage varieties, including Agastache ‘Poquito Butter Yellow’, Agastache ‘Poquito Orange’, Aralia ‘Sun King’, Artemisia ‘Makana Silver’, Ajuga ‘Blueberry Muffin’, and Fatsia ‘Spider’s Web’. The new videos are part of the “Terra Nova Varieties View” series featuring Chuck Pavlich, Terra Nova’s Director of New Product Development.
Agastache ‘Poquito Butter Yellow’ won the “Southern Plant Tour Industry Top Pick” award and “Classic City Award” at the 2019 Trial Gardens at the University of Georgia. Poquito is one of Terra Nova’s most popular collections, which led to the video’s creation.
Heuchera Proves Pivotal During Terra Nova Netflix Debut
Several heuchera varieties bred by Terra Nova Nurseries recently made their Netflix debut on the streaming service’s original series, “The Big Flower Fight.” Contestants of the new Netflix-produced show used Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’, Heuchera ‘Marmalade’, Heuchera ‘Obsidian’, and Heuchera ‘Paprika’ for various creative garden displays.
Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ found itself the center of a contentious challenge in which contestants created giant plant displays using primarily evergreen plants. Contestants Sarah Campbell and Jordan Marx took the entire supply of Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ available in the shared greenhouse for the challenge, and they used the plants for the red hat of a giant evergreen gnome. Competitors Andrew Whittle and Ryan Lanji took issue with this maneuver, and the ordeal ended with an argument regarding the distribution of red heuchera for the challenge.
Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ is bright red in spring and fall while darkening to a brown-red during the summer. It is a hybrid of H. villosa and has thick, leathery, red leaves that make a medium-sized mound. Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ complements almost every section of a gardens’ color palette, but it can also stand on its own without question.
“The Big Flower Fight” is a new show from Netflix. The show features 10 pairs of florists, sculptors, and garden designers who compete in a new challenge each episode to construct thematic garden sculptures. The challenges they face push them to create large and very detailed garden sculptures made of various grasses, plants and mosses.
