Zinnia ‘Swizzle Cherry & Ivory’

The big-flowered Zinnias have always been some of my favorite summer annuals. Their brilliantly colored flower heads are fun to look at and attract hordes of butterflies. It’s nice that a while back, breeders were able to select for shorter plants with the same huge blooms. Swizzle Cherry & Ivory is a new selection featuring 3-4 inch flower heads on plants that are around a foot tall and wide. The blooms are stunning, with an electric looking mix of colors. Each petal is a cerise cherry red with an ivory tip. The combination is quite unique and eye-catching.
