Influence on the green industry
The choice of the new color is a positive sign for the green industry, as it attests the fact that flowers and plants are still part of the lifestyle trend.

The search for plants that embody the new color trend is proving somehow difficult. Among the flowering plants, these are primarily special varieties of orchids, hydrangeas or dahlias. In addition, there are various leaf structure plants, such as heuchera, flame nettle or rex begonias, which have a beautiful magenta coloring.

You can then really go all out with this color theme in the fall. Numerous perennial plants such as Japanese maple, sweetgum, redvein enkianthus or ironwood then let their leaves shine in the most beautiful magenta hues.
