Polar Bear Zinnias, known for their pristine white flowers, are a cultivar of Zinnia elegans. This variety stands out in gardens with its bright, snow-white blooms that resemble the fur of a polar bear. These flowers are medium-sized, typically reaching up to 5 inches across, and they bloom profusely, creating a stark and beautiful contrast against darker foliage or other vibrant flowers in a garden bed.


Originally bred for their visual appeal, Polar Bear Zinnias have become popular for both ornamental and practical uses. They're favored in wedding bouquets and floral arrangements for their clean, elegant look. In garden settings, their white petals attract pollinators, especially in the late summer when they bloom, providing a late-season food source for bees and butterflies. Their historical use in traditional gardens has evolved, now often seen in modern landscapes for their ability to brighten shaded areas or moon gardens, where their light color stands out under nocturnal lighting.

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.
