ZINNIAS
“Found” growing in Mexico in 1519, these
Mexican wildflowers were developed by Dr.
Gottfried Zinn, an C18 German flower lover.
Zinnias are on the verge of a comeback today as
gardeners are rediscovering why they reigned
supreme for so long. Unsurpassed in the cutting
flower garden, putting on a cheerful show right
though the heat waves and into the fall. D.S.
when warm or Tr. Germ. 75o-80o.
We offer the following:
PURPLE PRINCE
Zinnia elegans
Purple flowers were "in" in Victorian gardens and purple zinnias were
listed in an English seed catalogue I have from 1887. This variety
bears dramatic, royal purple 8 cm blooms and combines beautifully
with 'Envy' zinnia, orange or white flowers.
