Monrovia is broadening its 2027 plant picks with varieties that help gardeners shape more polished beds and containers. The mix spans shrubs, perennials, and climbers, featuring stronger blooms, tidier growth, and foliage that maintains interest beyond peak flowering.
Skyrocket Pincushion Flower produces large violet blooms that open with creamy centers and fade to purple, adding a more layered look to cutting gardens and containers. Winter Jade Boxwood provides structure with dark green leaves that hold their color in winter and a naturally upright, dense habit for hedges.
For shoppers, that pairing makes it easier to buy for contrast rather than treating every plant as another burst of bloom. A flower-led perennial and an evergreen anchor in the same 2027 edit nudge garden planning toward a more design-minded, mix-and-match approach.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Design-led Plant Pairings
- Curated combinations of flowering perennials and evergreen anchors create room for retailers to merchandise gardens as cohesive design systems rather than individual plant purchases.
- Year-round Foliage Value
- Evergreen structure with durable seasonal color supports demand for landscapes that remain visually polished outside traditional bloom windows.
- Compact Container Gardening
- Tidier growth habits and high-impact blooms fit smaller outdoor spaces where consumers want premium visual results from patios, balconies, and entryways.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Home Gardening
- Plant assortments that balance color, structure, and ease of planning reflect a shift toward accessible landscape design for everyday homeowners.
- Nursery Retail
- Bundled plant edits and contrast-focused displays introduce new merchandising models that simplify purchasing decisions for garden center shoppers.
- Landscape Design
- Shrubs, climbers, and perennials with predictable form and extended interest expand the palette for low-maintenance, design-forward residential projects.
