Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wowie! How pretty is this? Luscious 3”-5” semi-double blooms open a bold magenta-pink with yellow tips. Soon the pink turns to red, giving a 3-D look as all colors will appear at once! A yummy large central cone is topped with tiny bright yellow “flowers.” One of the most exciting Zinnias – it’s an All-American selection for 2006. Great for cut flowers, these Zinnias are a nice TALL 30”-36” across & 27” wide. A fab addition to the Summer garden. Rich soil for best show.
