20 Green Flowers - Pretty Garden Blooms

Bells of Ireland

Multiple cup-shaped blooms grow on a single stalk and have a thin papery texture. They provide height to flower arrangements and are nice as cut or dried flowers.

Plant type: Annual

Mediterranean Spurge

This compact evergreen shrub is low-maintenance thanks to its tough, drought-tolerant characteristics. Its bottom leaves are a darker green, while the bloom clusters up top are a bright neon hue.

Plant Type: Perennial shrub

Dianthus 'Green Ball'

If a flower could be the life of the party, the 'Sweet William' dianthus shown here would be just that! The soft and fuzzy round, lime-colored balls are a fun addition to beds and containers alike.

Calla Lily

Calla lilies, with their simple trumpet-shaped flowers, are available in an array of colors. Though white calla lilies, having starred in many a bridal bouquet, are perhaps the most popular, these light green blooms are a stunning addition to gardens (or in containers as houseplants).

Plant Type: Perennial but often grown as annual.

Carnation

A popular filler in multi-flower arrangements, carnations are most impressive when a full bouquet of a single color is amassed in a vase. Light-green carnations are especially fitting for a spring wedding (and less expensive than many other floral options).

Plant Type: Annual, biennial, and perennial varieties available.

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums, or mums for short, are available in a variety of shades and shapes, including bright green. From long-lasting button spray mums to the unique showstopper spider mum, mums are a mainstay in the florist industry.

Plant Type: Perennial and annual varieties available.

With a shape reminiscent of ocean coral and a color like this strong chartreuse, a little green cockscomb goes a long way. These uniquely shaped blooms bring boldness to a garden or flower arrangement.

Plant Type: Perennial but often grown as annual.

Cymbidium Orchid

This type of orchid is really special. For starters, the tropical-like colors range from light to dark green and feature red, pink, white, or yellow centers. Cut stems can last several weeks, so they're ideal for bouquets.

Plant Type: Perennial

Dahlia

Available in a rainbow of colors, dahlias are true garden goddesses, like this lime-green version shown here. Blooms range in size from a couple inches wide to dinner plate size and really show off from midsummer through the fall.

Flowering Tobacco

Leafy, full-bodied green stalks create a foundation for small flowers up top. Dainty-looking blooms in a variety of colors (here chartreuse) are pretty, but they're also toxic. Keep animals and children away!

Plant Type: Tender perennial but often grown as an annual.

Gerbera Daisy

Arguably the most cheerful of flowers, these bright blooms are a crowd favorite. They are long-lasting as cut flowers and add loads of happy to a garden.

Plant Type: Perennials, tender perennials, or annuals, depending on zone.

Gladiolus

Tall and flashy gladiolus blooms are one of the most classic summertime flowers. Bright and saturated, like the electric green here, they add a punch of color to flower beds.

Hellebores

Hellebores, also known as Lenten roses, are super low-maintenance plants. Their quiet beauty is best noticed when viewing up close, or try snipping blooms to float in a bowl of water, as their pretty blooms grow downward-facing.

Plant Type: Perennial

Hydrangea

Is there anything dreamier than a full hedge of blooming hydrangea shrubs? Their pom-pom-like flower is simply a classic. It's best enjoyed as a bouquet of several blooms, but a single stem is equally fantastic. The 'Little Lime' variety shown here is a nice complement to classic white and blue hydrangeas.

Plant Type: Perennial shrub

Lady's Mantle

Lady's Mantle is a low-growing border plant with clusters of tiny yellow-greenish flowers. It looks best when multiple plants grow together as one large mass, and it plays nicely with many other garden plants.
