Hello again, Welcome!
On the subject of improving zinnia foliage, this zinnia showed up in my indoor zinnias.

I have frequently seen some coloration at the base of zinnia leaves, but never to the extent that this specimen has.

This makes me wonder if I save seeds from this specimen, whether some of them might show even more foliage color. I never even wanted to make zinnias look like Coleus, but it seems like a harmless experiment to see where this goes. More later.

ZM I tip my hat to you.
