Zinnia, Macarenia

Plants are a bit more compact than some zinnia, and the generous yield of blooms makes this an especially good variety for heirloom cut flowers. Requires full sun, rich soil, and moderate moisture to attain perfection. Cut frequently or remove spent flowers for highest production.

Zinnia, Redman Super Cactus

One of our favorite cut flowers, these magnificent and huge cactus type heirloom zinnias will be the focal point of any garden or bouquet. Requires full sun, rich soil, and moderate moisture to attain perfection.
