Embroidering a sunflower onto a pair of jeans for a friend who snagged the intentional rip and ripped them further.

I'm almost done with the petals (my long and short stitches have definitely improved along the way). Next I need to do the stem. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to make it look nice? The existing green was just the repair. Also if I decide to repair further up, what else should I add?

Any advice and suggestions welcome!! Thx
