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.

Young seedlings have sensitive taproots that require gentle handling during transplanting
Densely planted foliage can be vulnerable to powdery mildew in late summer if air circulation is poor or leaves remain wet
