Description
Zinnia Whirlygig Mix (Zinnia elegans) is a stunning, high-performance specialty annual celebrated for its vibrant, multi-colored bicolor displays. Producing medium-tall 24- to 30-inch plants, it bears large, semi-double to double semi-cactus flowers (3 to 4 inches across) where each petal is tipped with a strikingly contrasting color—such as scarlet tipped with yellow, rose tipped with white, or orange tipped with cream. Extremely easy to grow, heat-tolerant, and long-blooming, this improved selection adds eye-catching contrast to sunny garden borders, mass displays, and fresh summer bouquets. A heat-loving, fast-growing annual, it is a premier choice for cutting gardens, vivid summer borders, and attracting a steady parade of butterflies and hummingbirds.
