Zinnia (Zinnia Elegans South of the Border) - The South of the Border Zinnia Mix is a zesty color mix composed of our ‘Canary Bird’, ‘Scarlet Flame’ and ‘Sombrero’ Zinnia varieties. Recommended for cut flower bouquets as well as beds and borders. Zinnias are also great for attracting butterflies. These low maintenance flowers are heat and drought tolerant. Award winning performance and durability in landscapes and containers, especially in sunny, hot, dry locations. This mixture produces beautiful blooms of semi-double to double flowers on each stem.
Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, and attract butterflies to the garden. They make an excellent cut flower as the more you cut, the more flowers you get! They thrive in the sun and heat of summer, only asking for well-drained soil. When cutting the blooms for the vase it is best to trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, the foliage does not age well.
