Description
Zinnia elegans Mixture is the quintessential, open-pollinated heirloom blend celebrated for its rainbow of vibrant colors, effortless growth, and massive yield of cut flowers. Reaching 30 to 40 inches in height on sturdy, upright branching stems, this diverse mixture produces 3- to 5-inch double and semi-double dahlia-style blooms. Featuring a brilliant palette of scarlet red, deep rose, bright yellow, clear white, purple, orange, and coral, it transforms garden beds into a lively sea of color from midsummer straight through the first autumn frost. Fast-growing and heat-loving, it is an indispensable staple for cutting beds, cottage borders, and pollinator gardens.
