Product Details

Rolling, feathery petals are spectacular in bouquets and as garden adornments. At 4"–6" wide, this is one of the largest zinnias available! Double and semi-double blooms in brilliant shades of pink, white, red, orange, and yellow. The petals are long with rolled edges that turn under and sometimes twist. Each individual flower lasts a long time on the plant and in the vase. A swath of these colorful blooms will be a beacon to tempt butterflies to your area. Zinnias are edible, but have little flavor. The colorful flowers can make a pretty garnish to salads, desserts, cold drinks, or serving trays. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.)

    These flowers are really amazing. Zinnias are my favorite flowers, they are easy to grow and always come out so beautiful. This is the first time I've grown cactus zinnias and I am impressed! The plant is pretty tall, about 4 feet. And the flowers are so pretty and really big. I love them.
