Double Zahara™ Salmon Zinnia Seeds

These were very easy to grow and flowers are large and lasted well into the fall.

Beautiful fully double flowers, some plants showing more of a solid salmon and others shading from apricot in the center to a deep pink with salmon overtones on the outer edges. Paired with fuchsia pink petunias this is a tropical cocktail. Performance varied based on conditions: In a large pot, not crowded, with fresh Miracle Grow Moisture Control mix, in full sun: PERFECT! Plants were bushy, covered in blooms,and trailed over the edges of the container very attractively. In garden soil, in full sun, no supplemental water or feeding, these were almost as great a performer as the Profusion Double Hot Cherry and the Profusion Lemon zinnias they were planted with. In a slightly more shaded and smaller container, competing with fibrous begonias for space and water, they struggled to overcome slug damage, resulting in fewer and smaller flowers of a more beige-pink color. I garden in zone 4/5 in central NY state, and this year we had nothing but rain and cool temperatures until the end of July. These are a winner!
