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 themthey 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 fearDouble 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.
