Green Flowers for Gardens and Arrangements
Green flowers are unusual in a world where people look for more traditional colors. But green blooms can add a unique touch to a flower garden and are often featured in floral designs.

Some green blooms seen in florist's arrangements are dyed. Standard roses, for example, that appear on St. Patrick's Day or for novelty arrangements are most likely white roses that have been artificially colored. Some hard to grow green flowers are raised by experts in greenhouses for commercial purposes.

There are some green flowers that are easy to grow for the average gardener. Green zinnias and Bells-of-Ireland are annuals that look beautiful in a cottage garden or for cut flowers. In an all white garden, some green flowers add a change where most green appears only in foliage.
