Description
Zinnia elegans 'Purple Prince' is a regal, open-pollinated heirloom developed in the 1930s as a selection from the classic Dahlia Flowered series. Rising 30 to 40 inches tall on long, rigid stems, it produces massive 4- to 5-inch, fully double dahlia-type blossoms in a rich, saturated royal grape-purple with subtle lime-green or golden central centers. Fast-growing and heat-tolerant, Purple Prince blooms continuously from midsummer until the first autumn frost. It is a showstopping choice for dramatic cut-flower arrangements, background garden borders, and attracting butterflies to the garden.
