How to Plant
Prepare, sow, and press.
Before broadcasting, thoroughly mix this individual seed with dry sand, vermiculite, or another clean, dry carrier. A carrier is strongly recommended for most individual species and is especially important for small or lightweight seed. Sow about 1/4 inch deep in prepared soil, keep evenly moist during germination, and thin seedlings to give plants room for airflow and branching. Avoid overhead watering when practical.

The flower guests ask about.
Plant Envy as a deliberate drift, tuck it between pinks and deep reds, or cut it by the armful for arrangements. Its luminous chartreuse bloom works like a design element—softening, sharpening, and making the familiar feel newly composed.
Cutting-garden ready
Built to play well with color.
Grow Envy in full sun and cut the blooms often. The more deliberate the color companions, the more beautifully this unusual zinnia does its work.
