Anyone else growing these?:
Couldn't resist a solid red in the seed stand, just curious if other colors sneak in? The ATP/NGA post is curiously similar in realistic Zinnia height at 30-40" vs. the seed packet height of 24" (even dwarf varieties go 3' for me when I've tried them for front borders. Shear 'em at 6-8" and they do bloom short and bushy, lol).
Kinda disappointed to see such small bloom size but then again if they're leggy they'll be good fillers for summer arrangements with height and I'm sure display in the garden will be just fine...Doubles are second favorite to cactus varieties and strong reds a high priority for me. Hope it excites, Burpee promises "Impressive Prolific Bloomer". LOL, I've never met a Zinnia that wasn't!
Only one posted photo on the site. I'll add some with observations as they come around. Weather permitting, I'll sow some seeds later today...
