Description
Zinnia Canary Bird (Zinnia elegans) is a classic, open-pollinated heirloom staple celebrated for its brilliant, sunshine-yellow blossoms and stately garden presence. Belonging to the double-flowered California Giant family, it grows into sturdy, upright branching plants that reach 30 to 40 inches in height. It produces large, 4- to 5-inch, fully double dahlia-like blooms in a clear, luminous canary yellow that stands out dramatically in summer garden beds. Fast-growing, heat-loving, and easy to cultivate, Canary Bird provides an endless supply of long-stemmed cut flowers from midsummer until the first autumn frost while serving as a major magnet for butterflies and wild bees.
