3 zingy colors with twice the petal power

Here it is, the bedding zinnia mix of our dreams (Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnia Seeds). The Zahara® series introduced in 2009 immediately became famous for its resistance to mildew and leaf spot, its nonstop blooms, and its larger flower size. Now we're delighted to announce a mix of 3 double-flowered varieties: brilliant yellow, brightest cherry red, and rich orange fire.

These blooms are fully 2½ inches wide, and there's more of them—they pop up all over super-compact plants, drawing bees and butterflies into the garden and absolutely wowing those hot, dry beds and water-starved containers. Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnias are not really grown for cut flowers, but you'll find yourself picking plenty for bouquets . . . and why not? New flowers will open to replace them double-quick.

Renowned for its ability to withstand heat, humidity, drought, and just about anything else, the Zahara® series is the first bedding zinnia that can truly claim to be disease-resistant. Mildew is a traditional enemy of the zinnia, but Zahara's® got it licked. (Or should we say "dried".) Luckily, Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnias are also very long-blooming, prepared to continue well into autumn as long as the hot weather holds. What a joy.

This is the annual you'll want along that baking-hot driveway or cement path, crowding against the house (the walls reflect heat), and beautifying the patio (which never gets watered often enough). Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnia is just 16 to 20 inches high and wide, it can be planted a bit more closely than other bedding zinnias, again thanks to the mildew resistance. No need to worry about the foliage "touching".

Direct sow Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnia Seed when the soil has already warmed and spring is well underway, this plant will flower within 9 to 10 weeks of sowing. But if you want to get an earlier start, or if that hot April turns into a chilly May, no fear—Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mix Zinnia Seeds will grow vigorously all the same, and simply wait for the warm weather before blooming. Why can't all plants be this cooperative.

Amazing flower production, very sturdy and the colors are gorgeous, so bright and vibrant. Germination was 25/25. Will definitely buy again for next year.
