Discover the unparalleled resilience and vibrant beauty of Persian Carpet Mix Mexican Zinnia, the ultimate choice for heat, wind, and drought resistance. With its double and semi-double blooms adorning dwarf plants, this variety offers a breathtaking display of color from early summer until frost.
Unlike the more familiar garden zinnia (Z. elegans), Persian Carpet Mix Mexican Zinnia (Z. haageana) boasts a compact habit, standing at just 16 inches tall and spreading no more than a foot wide. However, don't let its small stature fool you?these plants produce an abundance of brilliant blooms that will dazzle your garden with hues of yellow, gold, orange, and burgundy, complemented by occasional whites and pure reds. Bicolored blooms with contrasting centers and tips add an extra layer of visual interest to this already stunning display.
Not only are the blooms of Persian Carpet Mix Mexican Zinnia long-lasting in both garden and vase, but they also attract butterflies and bees, making them a delightful addition to any sunny annual bed or patio container garden. What sets this variety apart is its exceptional ability to thrive in extreme conditions, tolerating heat, drying winds, and drought with ease.
This resilient zinnia variety is cut-and-come-again, meaning that as soon as you cut or deadhead one bloom, another will begin to set in its place. Direct sow Persian Carpet Mix Mexican Zinnia seeds in spring once the soil has warmed, or for even earlier blooms, start them indoors using the Bio Dome a few weeks before the last scheduled frost. Remember to transplant them quickly to minimize root disturbance.
