Zinnia Green Envy

A cult favourite among flower arrangers — and easy to understand why. Green Envy produces spectacular semi-double, dahlia-like blooms in a unique shade of chartreuse-lime green that transitions into a subtle jade as the flowers age, maintaining a fresh, citrusy appearance that lasts for weeks in both the garden and the vase.

The green flower that makes every other colour around it look more vivid. Grow it as a sophisticated mixer alongside hot pinks, deep purples, and warm oranges for combinations that feel genuinely considered.
