Green flowers are associated with renewal, good fortune, youth, and optimism. They can come in a range of hues, adding depth to floral arrangements and playing a big part in the flow of a garden.
Light green flowers have a calming effect and a refreshing way about them, blending in well with most other colors.
Let’s have a look at some beautiful light green flowers. Who knows? You may feel inspired to get some light green plants to cheer your garden up!
1. Mediterranean Spurge (Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii)
A wonderful evergreen shrub with bottom leaves that are a darker green than those higher up. Clusters of blooms erupt at the top of the stems in a lovely bright light green. The shape of the blossoms is very pretty. These flowers have something happy about them.
2. Green Calla Lily
Unless you are growing the Green Goddess Calla Lily (see below) green Calla Lily flowers are not actually natural. Calla Lilies are not, in fact, true lilies. They are in the same family as the Jack-in-the-Pulpit.
The flower’s petals are spathes, which are modified leaf structures, folding around the spadix. The spadix bears the tiny true flowers. Green spathes are often the result of low light situations or excess nitrogen.
The trumpet-shaped flowers of the Calla Lily that come out green are, therefore, due to a problem, but it cannot be said that they are not stunningly beautiful.
3. Green Goddess Arum Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica)
This Arum Lily has large green flowers with white throats. The foliage is a magnificent matte green. A gorgeous bloom that will certainly add glamor to a garden or floral arrangement.
4. Green Carnation
These exceedingly light green carnations work well to fill in multi-flower arrangements, and work especially well when there’s a full bouquet of a single color amassed in a vase. They are a popular choice for bridal bouquets because of their ruffly texture and volume.
Since they are hardy, they can be used in corsages, as centerpieces, and in large arrangements. Carnations are the perfect flower to use as a foundational element, being consistent in color and long-lasting.
5. Light Green Cymbidium Orchid
The tropical-like flower colors range from light to dark green and feature red, pink, white, or yellow centers. One look at the flower and you can’t help but be entranced by both the design of the flower and its hues. The cut stems can last several weeks, so they’re ideal for flower arrangements.
6. Green Star Gladiolus
Tall and stunning gladiolus blooms always make an impact and this light green variety is saturated in glorious color. It’s the perfect foil for other blooms that may have brighter colors and blends well in both vases and borders.
7. Green Hydrangea
Hydrangeas are blooming beauties, with many varieties within the species. The large macrophylla or mop heads are still the most popular. They’re normally blue, pink, or white but green hydrangea flowers will arise at some point in the season.
A full hedge of blooming pom-pom-like flowers in this light green hue makes for a very pretty visual effect.
8. Super Green Ranunculus
Ranunculi have entrancing rose-like blooms that are simply dream-like. The Super Green version has a blend of green and white flowers, each one different. The completely green blooms resemble artichokes. One look at these blooms and you just know that they are something very special indeed!
9. Tropical Lady’s Slipper Orchid
The word Maudiae is the name given to the hybrids that have produced the Lady’s Slipper Orchids. The plants have exceptional vigor and bloom easily. The foliage is gorgeous. The flowers are striking and unique with intricate detailing.
They are particularly known for their pouch-like labellum that looks like a lady’s slipper. Green-and-white Maudiaes are occasionally referred to as albinos because they lack red pigment. The monochromatic version with a variegated top petal is breath-taking.

With two towers of up to 30 pale ivory-green bells on each bulb, this is a stately and intriguing late-flowering bulb. The pretty downward facing flowers look like pixie caps. You can easily imagine these flowers in a magical garden.

Though each of the tassels consists of a colony of tightly packed, tiny flowers and lasts for many weeks on the plant. Thus, the long panicles make good cut flowers and, if carefully dried, the colour of the spikes remains unchanged for a long time.

21. Annual Lime-green coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea ‘Coconut Lime’ or ‘Green Envy’)
Hence the plant has frilly flowered double pom-poms flower heads of green florets surrounded by rings of greenish white ray-florets, on tall branching stems. The design of the flowers is wonderfully attractive with both upward and downward facing movement.
