Salmon-Pink Zinnia

Salmon-Pink Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) - Another wonderful selection sourced from the Secret Garden of Blyth, Ontario. This is a very striking bloomer of salmon-pink hues with prolific 2-3" flowers. Continues to bloom after you harvest the heads for cut-flowers. Stands up well to the wet and windy maritime weather! One of the best zinnias for container planting.
