Zinnia 'Sommer in Orange'
Pretty, small flowered zinnia (flower diameter around 6 cm) in brilliant yellow, orange, violet and red shades. This variety is particularly robust, wind resistant and free flowering. If the first flowers are removed even more branching is encouraged. Zinnias need a lot of warmth and light to germinate and grow. Ideal for cut flower growers.
