Green Flowering Plants

33 plants

Green flowers are a garden designer's secret weapon. They disappear into foliage from a distance but create quiet surprise up close. Lime-green zinnias next to hot pink dahlias. Green hellebores under flowering dogwood in early spring. Nicotiana alata glowing chartreuse at dusk. Use them to rest the eye between louder colors, or mass them for something stranger and more interesting.
