Zinnia Fantasy Seed

Zinnia Fantasy Seed

Zinnia elegans

Item #1158

Annual. At 5" - 6" wide, this is one of the largest zinnia flowers available! We’ve chosen the colors for this beautiful blend: Cherry Time shades of reddish pink, Lilac Time variations of purple, and Snow Time pure white. Sometimes referred to as “cactus flowered”, the petals are long with rolled edges that turn under and sometimes twist. Imagine a bunch of these eye-catching beauties on your tabletop! Each individual flower lasts a very long time on the plant, and in the vase.
