Zinnia elegans 'Profusion Red', Zinnia angustifolia 'Profusion Red', Zinnia x hybrida 'Profusion Red'
A real breakthrough in the world of Zinnias, Zinnia ‘Profusion Red’ is a stunning cross between Zinnia angustifolia and Zinnia elegans which combines the best traits of both species: disease resistance; drought, heat and humidity tolerance and easy maintenance (no deadheading). It boasts single, vibrant true red flowers, 2.5 in. wide (6 cm), that are so abundant that, as a group, they do stand out. As the flower matures, a circle of small golden stars surrounds its center disk. Borne atop sturdy stems, the eye-catching blossoms float above the fresh green foliage and make a bold statement in the landscape. Blooming profusely over a lengthy season extending from late spring to frost, they are perfect for the sunny border and make lovely mini bouquets.
