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.

Eustoma

Despite the obstinate nature of eustoma, many gardeners do not lose hope that one day this beauty will change her anger to mercy and will still rise. And they love this stubborn decorative culture, among other things, for its wide variety of tones and shades. The following varieties and hybrids boast an unusual soft green color of flowers:
Lime Green from the Mariachi series. Tall (75-90 cm) eustoma with large 5-7 cm flowers.
Green from the Super Magic series. It is distinguished by large double flowers of a pale green hue. In our country this variety is also known as Green Alley.
Green from the ABC series. Perhaps one of the tallest plant varieties, which can reach 100 cm in height.
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.
Exotic flowers
What about exotic flowers? What green flower can you choose for an original gift in a florist shop?
The first thing that, of course, may come to mind when mentioning exotic flora is orchids. It is unlikely that you will be able to grow this plant in your country house, but a bouquet of orchids or a flower in a pot is very popular as a gift. There are several varieties with green petals. For example, light lime Cymbidium, green-lemon with a lilac petal Anna Green, yellow with a greenish tint Jade Green, green with red veins Sessa Green Beauty and others.
An extremely popular flower in recent years for holiday, and especially wedding bouquets, is the Japanese rose, also known as lisianthus, or eustoma. Among the huge variety of shades, you can also find light green flowers of this delicate plant - varieties Lime Green, Eustoma Green, Fringe Mint Green and others.
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.

A selection of popular and unusual perennials for the garden!
Evergreen crops: what are they?
Many people think that evergreen crops include only conifers, and even then not all of them. In reality this is not the case. Many plants maintain greenery all year round, but they do it in different ways. In evergreens, the foliage “lives” for several years. It does not fall off either in the warm or cold seasons. This group includes mostly trees and shrubs.
There are also winter green crops. Their foliage remains throughout the winter season, and it completely retains its color. In the spring, new leaves appear, after which last year's leaves fall off. This group includes mainly shrubs and herbaceous perennials.
You can use both groups to decorate your garden with evergreen greenery. It is important not to confuse them, because crop care should be different. Evergreens are less demanding and adapt better to different conditions. Therefore, they are often chosen for growing on the site. They are suitable for spacious areas and small areas. There are many varieties of them: from tall to dwarf.

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.

Ground covers
Perennial evergreen ground cover plants are not only permanent residents of rocky gardens, slopes and flower beds decorated with stones. They are planted in the foreground of ordinary flower beds, in some places they are used as a lawn, they decorate the trunk circles of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, and they are planted on poor, sandy soils. All of them are very unpretentious, have the ability to grow quickly and fill space. Forming a thick carpet or dense cushions, such plants give the landscape a forest flavor (periwinkle, tenacious) or imitate the atmosphere inherent in mountain landscapes (antennaria, bryozoan). In addition, they help curb the growth of weeds.
Antennary
It is very attractive due to the felt, silvery pubescence of the foliage, soft, pretty inflorescences, thanks to which it received the popular name “cat’s paw”. Belongs to the Asteraceae (Asteraceae) family. In nature it grows in mountainous areas and pine forests.
Three varieties of Antennaria are grown in culture: alpine, dioecious (pictured) and plantain-leaved
Periwinkle
An amazingly viable plant from the Kutrovaceae family. Due to the high content of alkaloids, it is poisonous, but, nevertheless, it is highly valued by gardeners for its unpretentiousness, shade tolerance, the beauty of the dark green carpet it produces and its rather large, often blue, flowers.
Currently, varieties of small periwinkle have been bred with white, pink, red corolla colors, terry, with variegated leaves
Creeping tenacious
Creeping tenacious (auyuga) from the Lamiaceae family attracts attention not only with the beauty of the inflorescences, but also with the decorativeness of the leaves, which is also influenced by the degree of illumination. Greenish-cream, burgundy, pinkish, purple-violet, with spots and stains... The tenacious plant is often planted in flower beds, alpine hills, where it fills well the voids between stones, along paths.
Tenacious is great for decorating shady places, for example, near the wall of a house or under trees, in combination with hosta, astilbe, spirea
Bryozoan awl-shaped
Miniature grass, up to 8 cm high, from the Clove family. From the end of spring it is covered with small snow-white flowers, which continue to appear until autumn. Forms dense pillows. It is placed in rocky gardens, used as an element of borders, and as a lawn covering.
The second name is Irish moss; the bryozoan received its external similarity to mosses. The homeland of the plant is Scandinavia and Eastern Europe
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.

Carnations
Like most other varieties, green carnations grow well in garden beds if they are given proper care. Green garden carnation flowers from emerald to pale mint green with round double petals are almost never used to make a mono-bouquet, but they go well with other types of plants. Along with the classic varieties, a hybrid spherical carnation with an unusual needle-shaped petals - the Green Trick variety - is gaining popularity.
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.

Roses: varieties and shades
Green roses became a real hit last year. This “royal” green flower is considered a talisman that brings abundance, prosperity, prosperity to the family, as well as a symbol of hope and expectation of joyful events. Lush green-flowered varieties with long thick stems are often used as flowers for mono-bouquets: Mohito, Wimbeldon, Super Green, Lemonade and the like. Roses of this unusual color with smaller buds are often used in tandem with flowers in shades of scarlet, orange or yellow, and are also included in decorative compositions to decorate tables and rooms for special events. Green Tea, Green Rosa, Limbo (yellowish-green shade) are very popular in this quality.
If you plan to grow green roses, then the first thing you should know is that some varieties are chameleons, that is, changing the color of their petals depending on the stage of growth or conditions. So, Green Ice, for example, has green petals only if the bush is located in stable shade. In the sun this variety of rose turns white. The common Greensleeves and the lesser-known Pur Caprise initially bloom with flowers of a different color (pink for the first and red for the second), and as they bloom the buds turn green.
GreenRosa, golden-green varieties Lime, St. take root well in Russian soil. Patrick, Jade and a variety of climbing roses of this shade Elfe, green roses with slightly pinkish, white or cream buds Lovely Green Planet and others.
To create a color accent of pure green without pink or yellow tints, it is recommended to grow the Viridiflora variety, a rose with green petals of an original shape.
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.
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.
