OT (sort of) - Plants with 'green' in their name

15 years ago

I'm working on a project where I have to name things with certain colors in the name. I'm trying to theme it with plants, but I can't come up with anything green. Which is odd being that most plants actually are green!

Examples: Blue salvia, mock orange, purple heart.

Any ideas for green?

Thanks!

So, you are not looking for cultivar names? Heuchera americana 'Green Spice' is one of my favorites.

Green and Gold - Chrysogonum virginianum
Green Ash - Fraxinus pennsylvanica
Green hawthorn - Crataegus viridis (also Phlox viridis and several others)
Greenbrier - Smilax

Thanks Esh. I knew there had to be some out there.

Jeff_al - I actually have to do the same thing with edibles and already have green beans. And I used Fried Green Tomatoes for my movie category! :-)
