Zinnia Green Envy

   

Description

Unusual and dramatic lime green flowers. These Zinnias have large blooms and strong stems making them perfect for the cutting patch.

The bright and zingy lime colour brings out the best in other shades when it's included in an arrangement. Making some colours (red, orange and blue) appear more intense and others (such as yellow or white) appear softer.

They can grow up to 1m tall so will benefit from netting to grow through for support.

Plant Care Tips

Sow under cover from late April and keep at about 20 degrees until germinated. Zinnias hate root disturbance so don’t let them get too big before you transplant them into pots to then plant out once all risk of frost has passed. Or you can sow them directly in early June.
They are sun worshippers….they absolutely have to have full sun, don’t even think of planting them in the shade! Keep picking the flowers and they will keep producing.
Acclimatise before planting out when all risk of frost has passed
Water regularly but do not overwater
Keep deadheading/cutting to encourage more flowers
