Cherry Queen Zinnias are a variety of Zinnia elegans, renowned for their striking cherry-red color. These flowers typically grow to a height of about 30” to 40” tall, featuring large, double-petaled blooms that can reach up to 5” in diameter. Their vibrant color makes them a standout in any garden, attracting both pollinators and gardeners alike.
First bred for their ornamental qualities, Cherry Queen Zinnias have become popular in bedding displays and borders since their introduction. They're favored not only for their color but also for their ease of growth, making them suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. Beyond aesthetics, these zinnias are also cut flowers, lasting well in vases, and they're occasionally used in cottage gardens to add a pop of color amidst other flora.
