Zinnia Whirlygig Mix (Zinnia elegans) is a stunning, high-performance specialty annual celebrated for its vibrant, multi-colored bicolor displays. Producing medium-tall 24- to 30-inch plants, it bears large, semi-double to double semi-cactus flowers (3 to 4 inches across) where each petal is tipped with a strikingly contrasting color—such as scarlet tipped with yellow, rose tipped with white, or orange tipped with cream. Extremely easy to grow, heat-tolerant, and long-blooming, this improved selection adds eye-catching contrast to sunny garden borders, mass displays, and fresh summer bouquets. A heat-loving, fast-growing annual, it is a premier choice for cutting gardens, vivid summer borders, and attracting a steady parade of butterflies and hummingbirds.

Good to know

Uniquely striking, multi-colored petals that create a highly visual, festive display in the garden and in vases
Exceptional "cut-and-come-again" flower—harvesting blooms continuously encourages heavy new bud production
Outstanding heat tolerance, thriving in peak summer temperatures when cooler-season flowers fade

Susceptible to powdery mildew in late summer if planted too closely together or watered overhead; requires good air circulation
Sensitive to root disturbance—performs best when direct sown or transplanted very carefully while small
