Description
Zinnia elegans 'Scarlet Flame' is a bold, open-pollinated heirloom favorite prized for its large, fully double, dahlia-flowered blooms in an intense, fiery crimson-red. Rising 30 to 36 inches tall on strong, rigid stems, it produces massive 4- to 5-inch blossoms that create a striking visual statement in garden beds and fresh bouquets. Highly heat-tolerant and fast-growing, Scarlet Flame flowers continuously from midsummer through the first autumn frost. It is a workhorse in cut-flower beds and acts as a major magnet for monarchs, swallowtails, and native pollinators.
