Grow this annual from Zinnia seeds for gorgeous lime green blooms that will brighten any area. Zinnias have fairly long erect stems making them an excellent cutting flower.
When cutting for indoor arrangements, remove the foliage as it does not last nearly as nicely as the lovely lime green blooms do. The more you cut, the more blooms will come, and the butterflies will be visiting your Lime Green "Envy" Zinnia flowers often!

My zoysia grass suffered over the winter and I went on a limb to buy a few small bags of seed to repair some bald spots in my lawn. Much to my surprise the seed is coming out after a week and I am expecting wonderful results. Happy camper.
