Frequently Asked Questions

How do I incorporate Pantone's 2024 Color of the Year into my garden design?
Pantone's 2024 Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz (PANTONE 13-1023), is a warm, velvety blend of peach, apricot, salmon, and coral tones that translates beautifully into garden design. This hue pairs wonderfully with pinks, whites, creams, and silvers, and creates a striking contrast against deep greens and blacks in your landscape. Nature Hills carries a wide range of plants that embody this color, including Peach Drift Groundcover Roses, Coral Charm Peony, Peach Blossom Astilbe, and Rainbow Rhythm Orange Smoothie Daylily, giving you plenty of options across sun and shade conditions. Browse the full Peach Fuzz plant collection at naturehills.com to find the right varieties for your growing zone and garden style.

Which white flowering perennials are the easiest to grow and most reliable for a Pantone-inspired landscape?
While the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year Peach Fuzz pairs beautifully with white and cream tones, Nature Hills carries several reliable white perennials that complement this palette, including white Astilbe varieties and white Phlox, both of which thrive in zones 4-8 and return dependably each season. For the easiest results, look for established container-grown plants and get them in the ground in spring or early fall to allow strong root development before their first bloom season. Browse Nature Hills' full perennial selection at naturehills.com to find the right white companions for your Peach Fuzz-inspired garden design.

Which white annuals can I plant right now to capture the soft, warm tone of the 2024 Color of the Year?
The 2024 Pantone Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz, leans into warm peachy, apricot, and coral tones rather than white, so white annuals alone won't capture its essence as effectively as pairing them with peachy companions. To honor the spirit of Peach Fuzz, consider planting white or cream companions alongside peach-toned annuals like Orange Symphony Osteospermum, which blooms beautifully in containers and borders across a wide range of zones. Visit Nature Hills to explore the full Peach Fuzz plant collection and build a garden palette that blends those soft warm tones with complementary whites and creams for a look that truly reflects this year's color.

How do I design a white flower garden so blooms stand out without looking washed out or flat?
White flower gardens shine when you layer contrasting textures and foliage colors, pairing bright whites with deep green, silver, or near-black leaves to create visual depth. Introduce soft peach, cream, and blush tones as companions since, as Pantone's Color of the Year Peach Fuzz demonstrates, peachy hues look stunning alongside white and gray while preventing that flat, washed-out effect. Plants like Coral Creme Drop Phlox or Peach Drift Groundcover Roses blend beautifully at the border of a white garden to add warmth without overpowering it. Start by anchoring your design with a bold white centerpiece, then layer in peach and cream accent plants at varying heights of 12 to 36 inches for a garden that feels lush, dimensional, and intentional.

Which white flowering shrubs work best for foundation plantings and garden borders?
While this article focuses on Pantone's Peach Fuzz Color of the Year rather than white flowering shrubs, Nature Hills carries excellent options for foundation plantings and borders. Proven winners for these applications include white-flowering varieties of hydrangeas, spirea, and viburnum, which typically thrive in zones 4 through 9 and can be spaced 3 to 6 feet apart depending on mature spread. Visit naturehills.com to filter shrubs by flower color, mature size, and hardiness zone to find the best match for your specific planting area.

What white or variegated foliage plants can I use to reinforce a soft white color palette throughout the season?
While our Peach Fuzz Color of the Year article focuses on warm peachy and coral tones rather than white or variegated foliage specifically, Nature Hills carries a wide selection of white and variegated plants perfect for a soft, luminous palette. Reliable options like variegated hostas, silvery artemisia, and white-blooming astilbes layer beautifully together across seasons in zones 3 through 9. Visit naturehills.com and use the search filters to browse variegated foliage and white-flowering perennials suited to your specific hardiness zone for the best seasonal coverage.

Which white flowering vines and climbers grow well on a trellis, fence, or arbor?
This question falls outside the scope of the Peach Fuzz Color of the Year article, but Nature Hills carries several excellent white flowering vines for trellises, fences, and arbors. Sweet Autumn Clematis thrives in zones 4-9 and produces masses of fragrant white blooms in late summer, while White Japanese Wisteria and Climbing Hydrangea are classic choices for larger structures and arbors. Visit naturehills.com to browse the full selection of climbing vines filtered by flower color, hardiness zone, and growth habit to find the best match for your garden structure.

What companion plants pair best with white flowers to add contrast and depth to a Pantone-inspired garden?
For a Pantone Peach Fuzz-inspired garden, pairing peach and coral toned plants with white flowers creates a stunning, layered look full of warmth and elegance. Consider planting Peach Drift Groundcover Roses or Coral Charm Peonies alongside white companions like Shasta Daisies or white Astilbe to create beautiful contrast while keeping the peachy palette front and center. Gray and silver foliage plants like Lamb's Ear also work beautifully as a bridge between white blooms and peachy hues, adding depth without competing for attention. Start by anchoring your beds with a peach or coral focal point from Nature Hills, then layer in white and silver companions around it for a cohesive, professionally designed look.

How do I keep white flowers looking clean and bright throughout the growing season?
While this article focuses on peachy and coral hues rather than white flowers specifically, keeping white blooms looking their best comes down to a few consistent practices. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage fresh new blooms and prevent browning petals from detracting from the display. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-season to support vigorous, clean growth, and water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to avoid petal spotting and fungal issues.

Can I combine peach and white flowering plants together to reflect both the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year and a complementary neutral palette?
Absolutely, peach and white is a classic pairing that works beautifully in the garden, and it aligns perfectly with the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz (PANTONE 13-1023). White and cream tones are among the best companions for peach-hued plants, creating a soft, elegant palette that lets each color breathe without competing. Try pairing the Peach Blossom Astilbe or Oso Easy Peachy Cream Rose with white-flowering companions in your borders for a refined, cohesive look.
