Catalog ID

This unique zinnia features 2-3 in. crested flowers that resemble scabiosa. They make outstanding cut flowers. Colors include pink, yellow, orange, cream, and scarlet. Up to ⅓ of the flowers may be off type. Plants grow to 2 ft. tall. Scabiosa-flowered zinnias produce the most scabiosa-type flowers when grown in full sun with good quality, moderately moist soil. Plants start the season off with more single flowers and develop more scabiosa-type flowers as the season progresses. In climates with very hot summers, Scabiosa-flowered zinnias produce more scabiosa-type flowers in late summer and into fall when days are shorter and temperatures become milder.
