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.

Cactus Zinnias

These Zinnias have unique petals. I didn't think I would like them, but they are beautiful flowers. The blooms are large also. I love to grow them.

This type of Zinnias has the curling & stretching-downward petals. I got orange, red, deep pink... all is strange, bright and beautiful. But why it's called Cactus? The petals look like the thorns? My favorite Zinnias are California Giants and Northern Light Blends.

Owner Response: Great question. The twisted, long petals look a bit like some types of cactus flowers.

Most beautiful zinnias ever!

I've planted these the last two years. I did learn it's not worth it to start them early indoors. They do just find planted directly in the soil in the spring. I'm kind of a zinnia freak, and these zinnias take the cake. Very tall, incredible variety of colors, and so much more interesting than the round ball zinnias. Hummingbirds, bumblebees and butterflies go crazy for them.
