Scarlet Flame Zinnias, known scientifically as Zinnia elegans, are vibrant annuals renowned for their striking red flowers. Their blooms are rich in color, ranging from deep scarlet to a fiery red, making them a standout choice in any garden. These flowers are not only visually appealing to humans, but also attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds, enhancing garden biodiversity.


Originally from Mexico, Scarlet Flame Zinnias have a history dating back to the 18th century when they were first introduced to Europe. Over time, selective breeding has led to the development of many cultivars, with Scarlet Flame being prized for its intense color and robust growth. They're commonly used in ornamental gardens, borders, and as cut flowers due to their long-lasting blooms and ability to thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.

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.
