Zinnia - Envy - Lime Green ( Zinnia elegans) Dahlia Flowered Envy Zinnia Flower

Annual

Height 30 in

So Amazing! We adore this Zinnia Dahlia flowered 'Envy' - it's large semi-double vibrant lime green blooms makes it a real show stopper, and an excellent choice for cutting flower gardens. This easy to grow Zinnia thrives in any sunny spot and is low maintenance once established. If planted in dappled sunlight, Envy's almost 'neon' blooms become a little deeper green in color.

Although zinnias are low maintenance, pinching young plants out promotes a compact, bushier plant. Remove the foliage and don't be afraid to cut off side shoots on the mainstem just harvested; deadheading the spent flowers keeps zinnias blooming. Zinnias are a 'cut and come again' flower - when you cut the plant 'hard', it responds by sending out even more long, strong stems all season long!
