Description
Zinnia elegans 'Polar Bear' is an elegant, open-pollinated heirloom staple cherished for its massive, snow-white blossoms and stately garden stature. Rising 30 to 40 inches tall on long, rigid stems, it produces 4- to 5-inch, fully double dahlia-like flowers in a pristine white with subtle, glowing golden-yellow central stamens. Fast-growing and heat-loving, Polar Bear flowers continuously from midsummer through the first autumn frost. It is a premier choice for wedding floral arrangements, cutting gardens, and providing a crisp, high-contrast accent in mixed pollinator borders.
