Green Flowers

Green flowers feel fresh and calm, and they suit St. Patrick's Day, a Christmas table or a just-because gift. Browse a green bouquet, a holiday centerpiece or green and white flower arrangements, each assembled by hand by a local florist near the recipient.

Most designs get their green from foliage, while some feature truly green blooms like bells of Ireland and green hydrangea. The guide below explains both, plus holiday pieces and two dish gardens that keep growing.

Choosing green flowers and greenery

Truly green blooms and lush greenery

A few flowers grow green on their own. Bells of Ireland appear in six designs, adding tall spires of green cups, and green hydrangea shows up in four, including Simple Elegance, which pairs creamy and green hydrangea with curly willow. Lucky Clover mixes white lilies, green hydrangeas, purple stock and hypericum berries with bells of Ireland. Elsewhere, the green comes from foliage: Emerald Green Bouquet sets chrysanthemums and roses among leafy greens with a matching green bow. Florists often lean on eucalyptus, ferns and curly willow to give green flower arrangements shape and movement.

Green and white for St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day falls on March 17, and a dozen designs here are made for it; when it lands on a Sunday, choose Saturday or an earlier day. The St. Patrick's Day Flower Basket holds bells of Ireland, green carnations and poms, finished with a shamrock ribbon, and It's Your Lucky Day Bouquet keeps it simple with white carnations and green button poms. Emerald Isle sets white roses against deep green foliage in a clear cube, a look that works in any month. Browse our St. Patrick's Day flowers, or see white flowers if you'd like more of the crisp half of the pairing.

Holiday greens and living gifts

Thirteen designs are made for Christmas, when green does much of the work. Christmas Boxwood Tree is shaped from fresh-cut boxwood and pine into a tabletop tree in three sizes, Evergreen Glow Centerpiece rings a single candle with red blooms and greenery, and Garland Greens Centerpiece sits low in a tray so guests can see across the table. Find more Christmas centerpieces for the season. For a gift that lasts, European Dish Garden and Dish Garden for Dad group live plants in one container, so they keep growing for months with a little care.

Green flower questions

What do green flowers symbolize?

Green flowers are often linked with renewal, growth, health and good luck, the feeling of new leaves in spring. Bells of Ireland carry a traditional association with luck, which is one reason they're a St. Patrick's Day favorite, and a green bouquet suits a fresh start such as a new job.

Is there a naturally green flower?

Yes. Bells of Ireland, many hydrangeas as they mature, green button poms and some chrysanthemums, cymbidium orchids and hellebores all grow green without dye. Green is less common than other petal colors, which is part of what makes these blooms stand out in a mixed design.

What is the greenery in a bouquet called?

Florists call it greenery or foliage, and sometimes filler. Common choices include eucalyptus, ruscus, salal, pittosporum, ferns and curly willow. Greenery frames the flowers, fills gaps and adds texture, and in a green and white design it carries half the color story.

How do I care for a dish garden?

Place it in bright, indirect light and water when the top inch of soil feels dry, without letting the container sit in water. Remove spent blooms as they fade. For more living gifts that last, browse our plants.
