'California Giants' Zinnia is a showstopping heirloom variety prized for its massive, dahlia-like blooms and bold, vibrant color palette. With flowers reaching up to 5 inches across in shades of red, orange, pink, yellow, and white, this tall zinnia mix adds dramatic flair to borders, cutting gardens, and pollinator plantings. Plants grow 30 to 40 inches tall, creating a lush, colorful backdrop that blooms continuously from early summer until frost. Heat-loving and easy to grow, 'California Giants' are a favorite for attracting butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects. These long-lasting blooms also make exceptional cut flowers, with strong stems and excellent vase life. Low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and highly rewarding, this zinnia mix offers nonstop garden color and charm.
'California Giants' are perfect for the back of borders, mass plantings, or any area where bold color and height are needed. Ideal for cut flower gardens, they provide an abundant harvest of blooms for fresh bouquets all season long. Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last frost or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks early for quicker blooms. For a continuous supply of cut flowers, stagger plantings every few weeks through midsummer.
These zinnias thrive in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. They are drought-tolerant once established and bloom best with regular deadheading. Fast-growing and resilient, they will begin blooming in early summer and continue until the first hard frost. Their tall stature, vibrant colors, and garden reliability make them a standout in any sunny landscape.
