  • Overview

    An easy-to-grow choice for cheerful color in the garden or pots. Highly uniform plants with a low-growing, mounding habit that flower continuously, providing weeks of color. Abundant, fully double, bicolor blooms average 1 1/2-2 1/2" wide. Rose shades can vary under different environmental conditions: cooler temperatures accentuate the rose coloration, whereas when flowers age and experience more heat, the white comes out more. Zahara dwarf zinnias were bred for powdery mildew resistance and long-lasting color for landscapes and garden beds.
