Perennials with Green Flowers
Although lime green perennials (and annuals) are bold, the color is surprisingly versatile and pairs well with plants of nearly every color under the sun. Chartreuse is a great attention-getter that works especially well in dark, shady corners. You can also use lime green perennials as a backdrop for other perennials, or to draw attention to a focal point such as a garden sculpture, picnic area or garden gate. Note: Many perennials are grown as annuals in cooler climates.
