Kultureller Hintergrund

Green is the most beloved color in Lithuania, symbolizing the country's pagan past and its deep connection to nature. 'Žalia žolė' is often used in folk songs to represent a meeting place for lovers. In Baltic mythology, the earth (Žemyna) is sacred. The first green grass of spring is seen as a blessing and a sign that the earth has woken up. In cities like Vilnius, there is a strong movement to keep 'žalia žolė' in urban spaces. Many residents prefer natural meadows over manicured lawns to support biodiversity.

Yes, in 99% of cases it refers to the literal color of the plant.

While 'žolė' can mean weed, adding 'žalia' makes it sound literal, so it's not a common slang term for it.
