Your neighbors will be "green" with envy when they see this truly unusual flower in your garden. Use the 3"–4" wide, edible blooms to decorate platters of homegrown tomatoes or watermelon! Heat-loving plants supply endless beauty and interest to your flowerbeds, containers and borders. Each individual flower lasts a very long time on the plant, and in the vase. 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 grew to be so lovely and full, with minimal effort on my part! The rest of my zinnias are juicy and warm colors, so this variety added something unexpected into the mix. I found they responded really well to the practice of snipping off buds (to encourage branching and more flowers). They’re also growing taller than I expected, so they catch my eye every time I walk into my garden. Love them so much!
