Description
A small remaining zinnia mixture for boxes and pots or also the outer edge of a flower bed. This annual variety gets approx. 25-30cm high and also forms a little bit smaller blossoms. These, however, appear in the usual splendour, of course, and shine yellow, orange, red, pink, and rose all summer long. The blossoms are rather pompon-shaped and cut quite a figure in self-cut summer bouquets for the vase. Thereby, the blossom is even stimulated.
Zinnia are very uncomplicated summer flowers. They hardly need maintenance but like regular water supply and a place as warm and sunny as possible.
