Giant Violet Zinnia Flower

The most prolific zinnia flower (Zinnia elegans) variety we've ever grown. Often called "Dahlia flowered," these plants form deep purple four to six inch single stacked and double blossoms, the latter which can reach the size of some smaller dahlia varieties. This zinnia is a market flower for sure, and it's an absolute stunner in the field. Try pairing flowers in bouquets with Dara Queen Anne's Lace and our market ready Soraya Sunflower. Zinnias have a long blooming period too; late spring plantings can last well into the fall.

70 days to flower from transplants. Annual.

Seeds are certified organic.

Size: Packet: 100 seeds (0.75 gram), OG

Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) are annual flowers that are best started from seed from early spring through mid-summer. Transplants from seedling cells or direct seeding in the garden both work equally well. In either case, ensure that seeds stay consistently moist throughout their germination period. Flowers can form blooms as early as 70 days from seeding. Plants thrive exceptionally well in hot weather conditions. Make flower bunches by cutting stems low at a 45 degree angle and stripping off lower foliage. Consistently harvest blossoms or remove any dead/seeded flowers to prolong blossoming - or keep seed heads on the plant for fall seed saving.
