Every year, Pantone’s Color of the Year announcement is eagerly anticipated by interior designers as a prediction of decorative trends ahead. This year, however, the color is equally exciting for gardeners and landscape designers. Peach Fuzz, as it’s been dubbed by Pantone, captures a color that’s been recently trending in plant breeding—a pastel pinkish orange that’s equal parts romantic, unexpected, and versatile. Here are some of our BHG Test Garden picks for bringing peach-colored flowers and foliage into your garden year-round.

‘Alabama Slammer’ Avens

‘Alabama Slammer’ is “a late spring bloomer that adds charm to the front of the border,” says BHG Test Garden manager Sandra Gerdes. This newer avens (Geum spp.) variety reaches only 10-14 inches tall by 10-12 inches wide, but produces a whopping 150-plus flowers per plant, ranging from gold to peach colored. This perennial grows best in part shade to full sun and Hardiness Zones 5-7.

‘Peach Julep’ Coleus

The easy-care coleus‘s peach-colored leaves are strikingly outlined in red and green. Reaching 14 inches tall and 12 inches wide, this coleus works best as an annual plant in containers or planting beds in full sun.
