Blue Green Flowers

Blue-green flowers are relatively rare in nature, but several flowers exhibit shades that can be described as spanning between blue and green. Here are a few examples where you might see this coloration:

  1. Hydrangeas: Depending on soil pH, some hydrangeas can take on a greenish-blue hue. Acidic soil tends to produce blue flowers, while alkaline soil results in pink, but sometimes you can get intermediary shades.

  2. Blue-Green Succulents: Certain succulents might have blue-green flowers or foliage. While they’re more commonly appreciated for their fleshy leaves, some, like the Echeveria or Sedum varieties, can exhibit blue-green tones.

  3. Turquoise Ixia (Ixia viridiflora): This is a rare flower that features teal or turquoise-colored blooms.

  4. Blue-Green Orchids: While true blue-green orchids are rare and often artificially created, certain Vanda or Dendrobium hybrids might offer blooms that lean toward these hues.

  5. Delphiniums: Some varieties of delphiniums can have a blue-green appearance, especially as they start to fade.

  6. Sea Holly (Eryngium): This plant often has silvery-blue or blue-green spiky flower heads that can add an unusual touch to gardens and flower arrangements.

When you are gardening or arranging flowers with blue-green hues, combining them with complementary colors can create stunning visual effects. Florists often pair blue-green flowers with whites or deep blues to highlight their unique tones.
