Description

Zinnia State Fair Mix (Zinnia elegans) is a legendary, high-performance tetraploid heirloom variety celebrated for its massive blooms, exceptionally strong stems, and outstanding disease resistance. Producing bold, branching 36- to 48-inch plants, it bears huge, double and semi-double dahlia-flowered blooms measuring 5 to 6 inches across. The vibrant color mix includes brilliant shades of scarlet, crimson, rose, magenta, orange, yellow, and crisp white. Thanks to its extra set of chromosomes (tetraploid genetics), it boasts enhanced vigor, thicker petals, and superior resistance to powdery mildew, making it a standout favorite for cutting gardens, high-impact landscape displays, and summer bouquets.
