Canary bird yellow zinnias are a vibrant variety of Zinnia elegans, characterized by their bright, sunny yellow petals that resemble the feathers of a canary bird. These flowers are not only eye-catching but also robust, often featuring large, daisy-like blooms that can measure up to 5 inches across. Their striking color makes them a popular choice for adding a splash of cheer in gardens.


Originally cultivated from the wild species in Mexico, zinnias have a rich history dating back to the 18th century when they were brought to Europe. Over the years, selective breeding has led to the development of numerous cultivars, including the canary bird yellow, known for its ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees. Today, these zinnias are widely used in cut flower arrangements, garden borders, and as bedding plants, enhancing landscapes with their vivid color and contributing to ecological gardens by supporting pollinator populations.

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.
