Zinnia Queen Lime
Long, sturdy stems keep the flowers looking their best in garden or vase for a long time!
This plant is a tall, well-branched, bushy Zinnia, great for the sunny bed and outstanding in large containers. Expect it to reach 40 to 50 inches high and up to 2 feet wide, filled with flowering stems from the first hint of summer weather until the last (even if that last is in October!). Like all Zinnia, it's super easy to grow, either when started indoors or direct-sown into the warm spring soil. Give it plenty of sunshine, well-drained soil, and the occasional feed to keep it blooming like crazy all summer!
The flowers measure 2½ to 3 inches wide, arising at the tips of very long, sturdy stems that make them great cuts for the vase. Most will be fully double, absolutely pompon-shaped and packed with tight rows of petals. The occasional outlier will be single, and a few will be semi-double. Regardless of their form, all are unstoppable magnets for butterflies and bees, and with their unusual color will be highly-sought companions for every other flower in the garden!
Enjoy this fabulous new color for the sunny summer garden! Pkt is 25 seeds.
