Emerald Green Flower Guide

EMERALD FLOWERS

May’s favorite flower color is emerald. This year, we are spotlighting unique flower colors for you to use in custom flower arrangements, wedding bouquets, centerpieces and anywhere else you might need great-looking flowers. To make the chosen colors a little more interesting, we are starting with birthstone colors. Last month’s was diamond-white, and this month it’s emerald green.

When creating your wedding bouquet,

Complimentary Colors for Emerald Green Triad of Colors for Emerald Green

When creating a color scheme using emerald green use the color wheel as your guide! Above you see two examples. The first is the complementary color of emerald, a beautiful magenta, which is sure to bring out the beautiful tones of this shade of green. The second is a triad (3) of color complements to emerald. Green, indigo and chocolate brown make a stunning, jewel-tone combination. You could also go with analogous colors, meaning next to emerald green on the color wheel. So deep emerald mixed with lighter green and even yellow, or the other way, emerald mixed with vivid blues and indigo.

This is a great flower guide for brides looking for unique color palettes and unusual flowers for their wedding.

  1. WHERE DO I GO TO ORDER THE GREEN BALL PLANT

  2. Hi Beverly, the green ball plant is Dianthus Green Trick and is available from many growers. Find growers here: http://www.fgmarket.com/Fresh-Flowers/Flower-Growers

  3. where can I buy seeds of Green Ball Dianthus ?

  4. This is a very new flower to the cut flower industry and, to my knowledge, only a few growers have it in their stock. I checked around a bit and I don’t believe this particular flower is available to gardeners just yet.
