Meteor Zinnia Seeds

Zinnia elegans

Like embers glowing in twilight, these vibrant scarlet flowers bring an air of sophistication and mystery to any planting. Each 4"–5" bloom unfolds in layers of velvety petals, creating semi-double to double flowers with incredible depth and texture. The long, strong stems are a florist's dream. Cut frequently for moody, romantic arrangements that make a bold statement indoors. Whether massed together for maximum impact or dotted through mixed borders, 'Meteor' delivers non-stop color from summer until the first hard frost.
