Description / Zowie!™ Yellow Flame Zinnia Seeds

All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2006

You'll love the unique look and exciting color changes of this All-America Selection winner! Zowie! Yellow Flame is a zinnia like no other, with several layers of bright petals surrounding a big central red-and-yellow cone. Most excitingly, the blooms change colors as they mature, turning from single daisies of yellow-edged magenta-pink to double blooms of orange-red with yellow.

Zowie! Yellow Flame is a showstopper. The flowers are 3 to 5 inches wide, with a prominent central golden-brown cone that gradually disappears into the bloom as layers of petals accumulate. You can watch these flowers changing almost daily, and pick them at any stage for an entirely different look.

Even a small planting of Zowie! gives you a huge display of color. These plants are a good size for cut flowers, too—24 to 30 inches tall and about 24 to 27 inches wide, with thick, sturdy stems and good branching. As with all zinnias, the more flowers you cut, the quicker you get new buds, so fill your vases.

Zowie! is one of Park customers' all-time favorite zinnia varieties, with positive comments about its many looks, its ease of growth, and its staying power in the garden. Like all zinnias, it is very tolerant of heat and drought, and even puts up with humidity. It begins blooming in early spring and continues right into fall in most climates, needing little attention beyond cutting or deadheading the blooms to encourage new bud development. So simple, so beautiful.

Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, attracting pollinators—butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and more—to the garden, as well as beneficial insects such as ladybugs, which destroy potential pests. A member of the Aster family, it is a very good companion to vegetable plants, bringing in the "good guys" and helping to repel the pests. Of course, it's also perfect for the annual flower bed and for containers of all kinds.

Zowie! asks only for well-drained soil. Its biggest enemy is mildew, so water the plants with a soaker hose or other ground-based spray to minimize wetting the foliage—or, if this isn't possible, water them early in the day, so that the leaves can dry off before nightfall. Space the plants generously to prevent overcrowding.

When cutting the blooms for the vase, trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, it does not last well after cutting. Zinnia is a lovely companion to other summer bloomers in the vase; it has sturdy stems that help it keep its upright posture over a long period. Simply put, this is one of the easiest and most rewarding annuals to grow from seed. Enjoy.

    Outstanding as always 1 people found this helpful

    I order Zowie Zinnias from Park Seed every year and get 80% germination every spring. I suggest to everyone, do not buy Zowie anywhere else; either they don't germinate or they are not Zowie. Thanks again, Park Seeds!!!

    Poor germination rate 3 people found this helpful

    In previous seasons these seeds germinated at around 80%. This year they germinated at 20%. Out of 15 seeds, only 3 germinated. I don't care where you went to school- that's bad math!

    Spectacular color range in each bloom! 1 people found this helpful

    This zinnia is definitely worth growing! Each flower has a multitude of colors. Bright and very unique. Makes great cut flowers. Some of the tried-and-true zinnia colors may not stand out quite as much anymore because we've all seen zinnias before but this one is a real head-turner!

    My second year with the Zowie Yellow Flame. I am in love! These are the most vibrant flowers and covered with pollinators. Butterflies love them! Hummingbirds love them! I have a drip hose at the base of the bed that waters carefully and I don't have any issue with powdery mildew. A small amount is normal. They bloom nonstop all summer.

    These zinnias are like a neon sign! Zowie! generated much interest from neighbors and pedestrians on our block. A single plant perfectly filled medium sized (2-3 gallon) flowerpots on the patio. Pretty much carefree, though they did need water twice a day by August. Reliably full of blooms; even the faded ones still provided visual interest until deadheading.
