Excellent cut flowers.

This is a beautiful zinnia that hummingbirds love. My only mistake was not giving it enough sun. Make sure they get full sun. Mine only received 3-4 hours of sun and got really tall. Around 5' tall x 15" wide and started to lean towards the sun pretty dramatically. They still produced a lot of blooms though despite the less than idea conditions. They did get some mildew at the end of the season (along with some of the Magellans and Profusions), but I really stressed them out. I never watered them. Planted them in too much shade. These are definitely keepers though. Big, gorgeous blooms. I only needed to cut three to make a lovely table arrangement...in fact one would look nice as well. These seeds were given to me as a free gift for ordering other seeds, and they are my favorite zinnia so far! If you are looking for a gorgeous, red zinnia try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
