Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lime green semi-double to fully double blooms 3" across make excellent cut flowers and combine well with tobacco 'Perfume Deep Purple', and 'Purple Prince' zinnia.
To 3’ tall, we love these large flowered Zinnias with blooms 4”-5” across. Nice double flowers on well-branching plants, Benary’s Zinnias are prolific, drought tolerant & mildew resistant. Grow in the foreground of darker foliage or purple-blue blooming Salvias or mix all the shades for a carnival of color! Excellent cut flower & attracts butterflies! Rich soil for best show.
