Snowbird Zinnia, aka 'Polar Bear' has been a popular choice in gardens for several generations, listed in seed catalogues as far back as the 1870’s. Flowers are creamy-white, double petaled, maturing to 3-4” in diameter. At full maturity the inner disk has a very interesting golden sparkle of stars surrounding it! Stems of this variety are very upright and sturdy making an excellent cut flower. Blooms throughout the season starting quite early in the summer. A very showy annual that is sometimes mistaken for Dahlias with the upright growing habit. A real pleasure to grow this heirloom gem! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70 days to maturity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 seeds per packet \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date.
