Description

Blooms reach 4 to 5 inches wide on plants just a foot or so tall

The best dwarf zinnia ever grown, the Magellan series introduces bigger, more abundant blooms than ever before. These fully double, petal-packed beauties reach up to 5 inches wide and arise profusely all over neat, well-branched little plants scarcely more than a foot high. If you love the bold colors and indestructible garden presence of Zinnias, please treat yourself to this long-blooming, ultra-robust dwarf variety.

The flowers are packed with layer after layer of petals, with a frilly yellow center to cap them off. Expect them to range from 4 to 5 inches wide, and to radiate bright scarlet tones over a long, long summer season. Magellan blooms just 6 weeks or so after sowing, so you're guaranteed a long and colorful summer.

Perfect for the front of the annual bed, containers, or as accents in the patio garden and perennial border, Zinnia Magellan holds up its big, heavy blooms beautifully, almost vanishing beneath their colorful heads at the height of the season. Deadhead the old flowers to keep new buds arising, and you'll get even more glorious color.

This series contains 7 separate colors (including AAS winner coral) and a mix, plus an economical collection containing one packet of each. Try them all and you can landscape with a palette of ultra-bright, long-lasting color.

Gorgeous Cut Flowers

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Last year here in NW Florida, every seed germinated and provided cut flowers from early June through September. This will be my second year with Magellan Zinnia. I sowed fifty this time, and like last year, every one germinated.

OUtstanding

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought this thinking that scarlet would be red, but these were orange. No matter, they bloomed all summer long right up until frost. I have never had an annual preform like this one. These are the best zinnias ever and will be a mainstay in my garden for many years to come. I can't say enough good about them. The Dreamland series is even better than the megellian and I was very impressed with them too.
