Top Gardening Trends for 2015

When it comes to gardening , 2015 is the year of bold colors. The trends for this year will consist of gorgeous, bright hues of bright pinks, purples, yellows and blues. Along with colors, gardening for the birds and the bees (actual birds and bees, where’s your mind people?!) is going to be extremely popular, as well. Planting butterfly bushes and and bee-attracting colors will be seen in many gardens this year. Another trend that has been becoming more and more popular the past couple years has been sustainable living and growing eco-friendly gardens. Susan McCoy, who is a part of Garden Media Group, says not only do gardeners look for plants that they enjoy and that will be reliable each year, but plants that are environmentally friendly, including being safe for humans and animals a like.

Here are the top gardening trends for 2015

Types of flowers that you’ll be seeing in gardens this year

1. The ‘Blue Eyed Beauty,’ more uncommonly known as Osteospermum , HGTV tells us, is a gorgeous flower that is bee-attracting as well as vibrant and beautiful. The pedals are a beautiful contrast of purple and yellow, with purple being towards the center and fading out to bright yellow. You don’t see a lot of these flowers in gardens, but expect to see these beauties a lot more in 2015!

2.  ‘L.A Dreamin’ Hydrangeas are some of the most gorgeous flowers you’ll ever lay eyes on. The pedals range from pink to blue and white and fade throughout each pedal into these three different colors, making for the perfect combination of spring colors for your garden. Looking at these flowers, all I can think of is Easter and sunshine and spring! (As I watch the weather channel and it predicts 20 degree weather next week where I am…brrr.)

3. Finally, another great, trendy flower you’ll be seeing a lot of in 2015 is the ‘New Day Rose Strip’ Gazania and boy, oh, boy is this a flower! I can only imagine someone bringing me a bouquet full of these suckers (automatic swoon). Each white pedal has a vibrant stripe of magenta in the center of it, with a bright yellow middle.

So, the gist of it is, color is in full swing in 2015, so get with the program and add some brightness to your life!
