MASSIVE, 4”, ultra-double, cherry-red and white bi-color blooms smother this naturally dwarfed Zinnia from late Spring or early Summer until first frost. A perfectly easy to grow, low-maintenance, big bloomer ideal for tucking into any open spots that could use a splash of bold color. Growing to only 1’ high and wide, it’s especially handy in window boxes where it won’t block the view while still producing an abundance of full-sized blooms perfect for bouquets! Extremely tolerant of hot and humid Summers with superior powdery mildew resistance. Attracts bees, butterflies, and birds!
