Description
Zinnia elegans 'Cupid Mixture' is a charming, dwarf heirloom selection prized for its neat, mounding plant habit and dense, pompom-like button blooms. Reaching a compact height of 18 to 24 inches, it produces a prolific display of small, 1- to 1.5-inch fully double flowers atop sturdy, branching stems. The color blend includes a vibrant array of scarlet, rose, pink, yellow, orange, and white. Because of its dwarf stature and tight flower heads, Cupid Mixture is an outstanding choice for front-of-border plantings, patio pots, children's gardens, and charming "jelly jar" nosegay bouquets.

Good to know
Compact growth habit remains neat and tidy without needing staking or support in wind-exposed spots
Highly productive "cut-and-come-again" bloomer—harvesting petite stems encourages continuous new flower heads
Petite flower size holds up well against heavy summer rain compared to giant-flowered varieties
Shorter stem lengths are better suited for small vase arrangements rather than tall, dramatic cut-flower displays
Dense, compact foliage requires proper air circulation and spacing to prevent powdery mildew during late-summer humidity
