I love green in the garden. Who doesn’t? It’s the colour of new growth. Photosynthesis. Good health.
But that’s not the green I’m talking about here. I’m talking lime green. Pucker-yer-lips, jolt-to-the-system lime.
I used lime green cushions in my back patio to add a punch of colour to an otherwise subdued palette. The lime of the pillows is echoed by the bright, bamboo-like foliage of Northern sea oats (Chasmantheum latifolium), which you can see peeking out on the left side of this photo. Lime contrasts so nicely with red cedar, as well as charcoal gray stone (or Sunbrella fabric, as the case may be).
Looking for other lime green accents? Here are some of my faves.
Green hose clothes from Dirt Couture.

And then there are plants, of course. Like this lime green nicotiana. Photo by scott.zona on Flickr.
So many lime green heucheras! This one is Heuchera ‘Key Lime Pie’. Photo via The Plant Directory.
I love lime green in my garden too.

Loving the great limey green finds!
I love it! Chartreuse is my favorite. It’s the tying theme throughout my entire garden, front and back. I have lime green pineapple sage, sedum de oro (in a greener hue than usual), several greeny-yellow hues of plectranthus, a scandalous amount of lime-colored creeping jenny, and golden oregano. I plant my punches of neon yellow/green in the front, middle and back at random intervals to give my flower beds depth. Now I need to find some lime green garden accessories…thanks for the inspiration!
Squeeeeeeeee!!!! I love it!
