| Pantone's Color of the Year is Radiant Orchid |
This year's Pantone color is a great one in terms of landscaping. This lavender color is found in a multitude of different places, from annuals and perennials to flowering shrubs. These are a few of our favorite picks:
- Firewitch Dianthus
- Dianthus have long been a garden favorite. With almost a month of blooming period, the flowers are great for creating small bouquets. Another great thing about Dianthus is that it is heat tolerant, perfect for our hot Minnesota summers. Zone 3-9
- Lavender Bounty Iris
- This showy Iris is a great addition to a ground bed. Boasting good height and attracting butterflies, this Iris makes for a beautiful cut flower. Very low maintenance. Zone 3-8
- Gladiator Allium
- Alliums are stunning when planted in large clusters that bloom from late spring into early summer. The fragrant globe shaped flower is a focal point in a bouquet. Zone 4-9, without a stroke of luck, you'll plant these bulbs each year.
- Dwarf Korean Lilac
- This fragrant little gem is smaller and denser than many other lilac bushes. It blooms clusters of pale showy lilac flowers that cover the majority of the bush. Zones 3-7
