Planting the Seeds of InnovationThe 1990s marked the beginning of something extraordinary for us. Between 1992 and 1999, we were laying the foundation, planting the literal and figurative seeds of innovation that would grow into a revolution in perennial plant breeding.During this pioneering decade, our vision was clear: reimagine the garden by creating plants that were not only beautiful, but bold, resilient, and groundbreaking. We began by challenging convention, experimenting with interspecific crosses and exploring untapped potential in under-appreciated genera. It was in these early years that we introduced our first Heuchera hybrids with vibrant foliage colors and unique patterns, plants that would soon become industry icons.Our small but passionate team worked tirelessly, armed with microscopes, greenhouses, and a fearless drive to do things differently. These years were about discovery, trial and error, and the joy of watching a concept become a commercial success.%u2022 1992 - Heuchera 'Snowstorm', Heuchera 'Pewter Veil', Pulmonaria 'Excalibur'%u2022 1993 - Heuchera 'Green Spice', Heuchera 'Pink Ruffles' %u2022 1994 - Heuchera 'Stormy Sea' & Heuchera 'Purple Petticoats'%u2022 1995 - Heuchera 'Chocolate Ruffles' & Heuchera'Plum Pudding'%u2022 1996 - Heuchera 'Green Spice'%u2022 1997 - Heuchera 'Fireworks'%u2022 1998 - Heuchera 'Sashay', Tiarella 'Mint Chocolate' & Pulmonaria 'Victorian Brooch'%u2022 1999 - Pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain', Pulmonaria 'Dark Vader', Pulmonaria 'High Contrast' & Tiarella 'Spring Symphony'Since its founding in 1992, TERRA NOVA%u00ae Nurseries has reshaped the horticultural landscape with bold breeding breakthroughs and a relentless commitment to innovation.
