striking duet combines lively apricot and vivid
chartreuse florist-quality zinnias in a perfect
color combo for eye-catching bouquets that
arrange themselves. Long-stemmed, double
blossoms on sturdy 3-1/2 foot plants.

A very sturdy, almost stocky zinnia. I've never pinched this plant back, yet it has a fabulous bushy appearance. Some of the flowers will be coral with a reddish center, while other will be chartreuse with a light center. The flower stems are long so they are perfect for cutting. HIGHLY recommend these!
