Zinnia 'Cherry Queen'
Zinnia elegans ‘Cherry Queen’ features eye-catching, double flowers, 4-5 in. across (10-12 cm), packed with fiery cherry-red petals. As the flower matures, a circle of small golden stars surrounds its center disk. Borne atop sturdy stems, the luminous blossoms float above the fresh green foliage and make a bold statement in the landscape. Blooming profusely over a lengthy season extending from early summer to frost, this Zinnia is easy to grow and perfect for sunny borders and fresh bouquets.
