Quantity

60 days. Magnificent and easy to grow from seed, this popping red dahlia-like flower is remarkable in the garden and bouquets. Erica loves this large, scarlet red flower on a long stem perfect for cut flowers. Zinnias are adored for their easy, fast growth, plus their ability to produce abundant showy blooms from mid-summer through the first frost. Plants are 3-4’ tall but don’t need staking. Deadheading regularly will encourage more blooms. Scarlet Flame can be found in seed catalogs dating back to the 1930’s, and its large flowers (4” across) have become a mainstay in American flower gardens.
