Purple Prince Zinnias, a cultivar of Zinnia elegans, are known for their vivid purple blooms that can brighten any garden. These flowers are characterized by their large, dahlia-like petals that form a full, rounded flower head, often reaching up to 5 inches in diameter. Their deep purple color not only adds a dramatic flair but also attracts a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds.


Originally developed for ornamental purposes, Purple Prince Zinnias have become a favorite for both amateur gardeners and landscapers due to their easy care and long blooming period. Historically, zinnias have been cultivated since the 18th century, with Zinnia elegans being one of the most popular species due to its vibrant colors and diverse forms. Today, these zinnias are not only used for garden decoration but also as cut flowers, adding a splash of color to bouquets and floral arrangements, appreciated for their longevity in vases.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Zinnias are native to South America, which means they will thrive in the heat and sunlight. Plant them on the edge of your garden to allow them to spread out when pinched back. The term “pinching back” simply means to snip the zinnia at a lower leaf node prior to it flowering. This will allow the plant to spend more energy in creating multiple branches, thus rewarding you with more blooms later on. As a side note, zinnias become more drought tolerant as they grow stronger.
