10 plants with green flowers

Zinnia graceful Lime

Tall (90-100 cm) fast-growing annual with large (13-15 cm) densely double inflorescences. It is distinguished by abundant and long-lasting flowering - the first zinnia buds bloom at the end of June, and the last ones fall almost on the eve of the first frost.

They are highly resistant to bad weather, as they are not afraid of rain, gusty winds, or the scorching summer sun. Traditionally, zinnias are grown in seedlings, but in warm spring conditions it is permissible to sow them in open ground.

White, red, yellow, scarlet, purple, pink and even green zinnias are an excellent decoration for any flower garden.

List of the best evergreens for the garden

All crops that preserve greenery all year round can be divided into two groups. Let's talk about each of them.

Conifers

Their main difference from other plants is their leaves in the form of thin, long needles. Some conifers have flat, scaly foliage. Almost all seeds ripen in cones, the shape, size and shade of which depend on the species. We list the most popular evergreen conifers among gardeners.

Spruce

A beautiful fluffy tree with short needles and brown cones. The average height of a tree is 25-30 m, under favorable conditions it grows up to 50 m. Spruce trees tolerate shading well and can grow in partial shade and in the sun. Sensitive to humidity and air purity. They prefer slightly alkaline light soils and moderately moist loams. There are more than 45 varieties of conifers. The following types can be recommended for the site.

Ohlendorffy. A multi-topped, low-growing Christmas tree with needles of a golden-green hue. Grows up to 200 cm.
Akrokona. Compact spruce up to 400 cm high, grows very slowly. The needles are dark green, the cones are lilac-crimson.
Herman Nau. Dwarf Christmas tree no more than 150 cm high. The crown is cushion-shaped, the needles are grayish-blue.

Spruces are good in single and group plantings, for example, at the front entrance to a house or as the central figure of a multi-tiered composition. Dwarf and low-growing specimens are planted in mixborders or rockeries, and they are used as hedges.

Cypress

Tall conifer with scaly leaves. The crown can be pyramidal or spreading. Does not like bright sun rays and strong shadow. The best option is partial shade. Prefers loose fertile soil mixtures. It does not tolerate waterlogging; in lowlands it is planted only on well-drained soils. We list the best varieties for decorating the local area.

Large-fruited. A tall tree with beautiful yellowish needles. Can grow up to 35-40 m, so pruning is required. Has a very pleasant lemon aroma.
Tuevidny. A compact tree with a pyramidal crown of bluish-green color. Its peculiarity is the presence of needle-like needles, which gradually turn into scaly ones.
Leyland. Tall, fast-growing hybrid with a columnar crown and scaly needles. The trunk is covered with glossy bark of a dark red or brown tone.

Yew is shade-tolerant and unpretentious. It takes root well on any soil, but prefers a fertile neutral substrate without excessive moisture. We list the best varieties for landscaping.

Pointed. Tree species can reach 20 m, but on average do not grow higher than 6 m. Shrub species are low and creeping. The needles are crescent-shaped, dark green on top and light on the back.

Winged tobacco Deep Lime

Winged tobacco also has its own “green lines” of varieties and hybrids. For example, Deep Lime from the Cuba series is distinguished by its not too tall growth (25-30 cm), while the Lime Green variety boasts more impressive dimensions - the diameter of its bush can reach 75 cm, and the height almost always exceeds 50 cm.

This plant loves the sun very much and reacts extremely poorly to shade, but when planted in partial shade it can bloom very well, although not as abundantly as tobacco grown in the sun.

Soft cuff

Soft mantle belongs to that rare category of plants that can bloom throughout almost the entire season. Gardeners love this culture not only for its velvety inflorescences, which during the flowering process change their tone from soft green to pale yellow. If you don’t miss the moment and cut off the faded inflorescences towards the end of summer, the plant will give you a second wave of flowering.

15 perennials that bloom all summer
A selection of popular and unusual perennials for the garden!

Molucella (Irish bluebell)

In the middle zone, molucella is grown as an annual. This is a tall 70-90 cm plant with branched shoots and powerful peduncles, collected in a kind of bush. Molucella leaves are rounded, with serrated edges.

However, it is not they that attract attention, but the bracts of this plant - pale green funnel cups surrounding small white molucella flowers. Pseudobells collected in a dense spikelet inflorescence look very elegant and unusually impressive. The original molucella “candles” will decorate the flower garden for a very long time - from the end of June to mid-September.

Trees

Trees that remain decorative all year round are planted on the site both singly and in groups, create hedges, and become the main accent in a mixborder.

Yew berry

Yew berry belongs to the class Coniferous, the Yew family. It grows up to 20 m in height, although this will take more than one century. Unlike conifers, it does not have cones, but seeds surrounded by a fleshy, juicy red shell, similar to berries. That is why it is also called “mahogany”.

All parts of the plant, except the fruit shell, are poisonous!

Relict trees are common in the Caucasus and the Black Sea coast. Shrub forms are more often used in cultivation.

“Repandance” is a low-growing, shrubby yew, growing up to 50 cm. It is planted on alpine hills, in mixborders, along paths, around ponds

Interesting varieties with unusual colored needles. For example, “David” (bright lime), “Summergold”, “Cooper Gold” (yellow), “Elengatissima” (light green, cream). All of them are suitable for growing in the middle zone.

"Elengatissima" grows no more than half a meter, the intensity of the color of the needles depends on the light

Boxwood

Boxwood occurs in woody and shrub forms; about 30 varieties are known. Trees can grow up to 12-15 m. These are also ancient, relict plants, which in nature, together with yew, form large yew-boxwood groves. Boxwood has leathery, oblong leaves located oppositely on the stem. Small, inconspicuous flowers emit a strong aroma. The wood is very dense and heavy.

Decorative forms are traditionally used by designers to decorate the landscape

Variegated species are interesting, for example, evergreen boxwood “Variegata” (pictured).

Holly

Holly (holly) belongs to a genus of trees and shrubs of the Holly family, growing in temperate and tropical climates. In their natural environment, trees reach 10-20 m. Holly leaves are beautiful, shiny, carved, dark green or two-colored; may have thorns. The brightly colored berries (drupes) of red, orange, yellow, white or black often remain on the branches throughout the winter.

Holly is especially prized in Europe, where it is used to make wreaths to decorate homes at Christmas.

Holly is unpretentious in care, but loves fertile soils, responds to fertilization with abundant foliage and flowering, and responds well to formative pruning. When planting in the garden, hydrangea, mahonia, cypress, and euonymus will make good company for holly.

For growing in the country, it is more convenient to choose dwarf hybrids or spectacular variegated shrubs, for example, “Argentea Marginata”

Tulip Green Jay

A late-blooming variety of green-flowered tulips with large 6-10 cm flowers. The height of the plant is about 40 cm, the flower petals are fringed. At the very beginning of flowering, the color of the perianth tends more to green, but if the flower grows in the sun, then gradually the edges of the petals begin to turn yellow. However, even in this case, the center of the petal remains green.

Echinacea Green Jewel

The emerald flowers of Green Jewel Echinacea are the treasure of any garden. If you love daisies, then this plant will definitely not leave you indifferent. The relatively tall (50-60 cm) perennial begins to bloom in July and ends only in September. The main thing is to remove wilted buds in a timely manner.

Like all echinaceas, plants of this variety are distinguished by their love of the sun, so it is better not to plant them in the shade or even partial shade.

Rose Limbaugh

Limbo is one of the most popular varieties of “green” roses. Since varieties with a pure green color do not yet exist, varieties and hybrids with petals of yellow-green tones are usually included in this group. The buds are cone-shaped, the petals have a scalloped edge.

The flowers, consisting of 45-47 petals, form a 7-8 cm cup when fully opened. One of the main advantages of this rose is that its flowers can remain on the bush for a long time. In addition, many rose growers note that if the plant is fed in a timely manner and faded buds are removed, it will bloom again.

Green "dozen" flowers

Green flowers look very unusual, and a garden with them completely resembles a picture from some science fiction novel. It is quite possible that such an unusual design option will not suit everyone. In addition, green flowers have one significant drawback - they blend in with the foliage and grass of the garden. However, it is interesting to look at plants with green flowers or inflorescences.

1. Astrantia. Large Astrantia plants have decorative dissected leaves and attractive white-green flowers. Varieties 'Celtic Star', 'Green Tapestry', 'Jade Lady', 'Snow Star'. The largest and greenest branches are from the popular variety 'Shaggy'.

2. Phloxes. The large, dense inflorescences of the Feelings series varieties look impressive: 'Pleasant Feelings' is lemon green, 'Pure Feelings' is greenish-white. Both varieties have a mid-late flowering period.

3. Rose. The only truly green rose is 'Viridiflora'. In addition, there are many varieties with varying degrees of green tones: 'Green Diamond', 'Green Ice', 'Grensleeves', 'Rainforest', 'Pur Caprice', 'Elfe', 'Lovely Green'.

4. Hydrangea. The caps of light green Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' flowers, appearing in July, turn pink in autumn. And the huge round inflorescences of the famous tree hydrangea 'Annabelle', on the contrary, change their color over time from white to rich green.

5. Echinacea. The greenest of all varieties of “American daisies” are Echinacea 'Jade' and 'Green Jewel'. Over time, the green petals of the 'Green Envy' variety turn pink as they bloom.

6. Amaranth paniculata. One of its new varieties, “Rushnichok,” received its name because of its unusual inflorescences. Its originality lies in the green inflorescences with brightly colored burgundy tips of the brushes, similar to cross-stitched patterns.

7. Tobacco. A classic and beloved annual by many, fragrant tobacco has a pleasant aroma that intensifies in the evening. The variety 'Lime Green' with yellowish-green flowers reaches 1–1.2 m in height..

8. Tulips. A bright spring decoration of the green flower garden is the parrot tulips 'Super Parrot' and 'Green Wave'. The first has petals mixed with white, the second has pink petals, but green is still the main one.

9. Hellebore. Another decoration of the spring garden is the apple-green cupped flowers of hellebore.

10. Clematis. Double flowers of unusual white and green colors adorn the Japanese variety 'Yukiokoshi'.

11. Gladiolus. Of course, this is exotic, and such plants are quite rare. Some of the green varieties have been bred for quite some time. In particular, back in 1978, the Emerald Ripples variety was created, which to this day is considered the leader among green gladioli.

12. Chrysanthemum. At the end of summer and autumn, the Revert chrysanthemum variety can boast of green color. At one time, the name of this flower was given by Carl Linnaeus. The name literally translates as “golden flower.” However, Revert chrysanthemum flowers can be colored not only yellow, but also green. This is, indeed, a natural greenish tint, which fades as the flower blooms, turning into yellow.

Hydrangea paniculata Limelight

Hydrangea paniculata Limelight is rightfully considered one of the most outstanding varieties of this plant. Unlike many other hydrangeas with large flowers, Limelight can be grown without any support - the powerful shoots of this hydrangea are so reliably supported by the lush caps of flowers.

The color of the petals largely depends on the degree of insolation: in hydrangeas growing in partial shade, they are greenish, while in bushes planted in the sun they are pure white, and at the end of the flowering period they are slightly pinkish.

Tulips

Unlike the capricious rose, tulips are considered one of the most successful plants for decorating seasonal garden beds. In most cases, gardening stores offer so-called green-flowered varieties, that is, those with buds of yellow, orange, red and other shades with stripes and veins of dark green. These are the popular pink Greenland, Hollywood, China Town, and delicate Spring Green and Super Parrot, milky white tulips, and the exotic purple Violet Bird and many, many others. However, among the different varieties of tulips you can find a flower with green petals: this is the variety Brooklyn (Brooklyn) with an inflorescence cup of a very unusual shape and a real miracle of selection - La Bizarre.

Tulips are also used to make flower arrangements. Just 10-15 years ago, bouquets of these flowers, along with mimosas, were considered a symbol of the spring holidays. Today, in any season, you can buy delicate flowers of various shapes and shades - tulips - as a gift. White-green varieties, for example Spring Green, popular in Russia, are usually given as a mono-bouquet, and rare green varieties are often used in tandem with bright flowers to create original compositions.

Clematis Yukiokoshi

Yukiokoshi is a very old clematis variety of the second pruning group. It is distinguished by large double or semi-double flowers of a greenish or yellowish-white hue.

A compact shrub that prefers sunny places well protected from the wind, but can also thrive in partial shade.
