Zinnia Elegans 'Illumination', Tall Garden Zinnia
Zinnia ‘Illumination’ features ravishing double flowers adorned with luminous pink petals. Resembling dahlias, they are borne on very long, sturdy stems above the foliage of lance-shaped leaves, and make a big statement in the landscape. Blooming profusely over a lengthy season extending from early summer to frost, this showy annual is a vigorous and excellent performer in all climates. Looking stunning in the sunny perennial border, its tall stems and long vase life, make it wonderful for cutting.
