WASHINGTON — Washington Nationals fans can flex their green thumb with the team’s latest giveaway — a Jayson Werth-themed Chia Pet.

The first 20,000 fans into Nationals Park for Wednesday’s game with Arizona received a Chia Pet where fans can sprinkle the seeds on the outfielder’s beard.

WTOP received the Chia Pet ahead of the giveaway and put it to the test. Watch with us as we see the facial hair flourish. We will provide photo updates every day.
