    Zahara Starlight Rose is another narrow leaf zinnia, which I found to be very resistant to powdery mildew. The plant maintains a short neat mound throughout the summer.

    I was disappointed that the rose star markings weren't more visible. They were only noticeable when seen from close up. From any distance it just looked like a solid white zinnia. A pretty white zinnia, but plain white nonetheless. Fresh new flowers seemed to open as solid white, and the rose would appear as each blossom faded.
