Organic Queen Lime with Blush Zinnia:
What?! Just look at her! Queen Lime with Blush is a whimsically show-stopping zinnia with petals unfolding, layer after layer, in spectrums of cantaloupe-salmon and electric yellow. We all found ourselves constructing reasons to go visit her each day. Given the flocks of native butterflies and pollinators, we weren't the only species smitten with her.
Each long, strong stem is perfect for cutting and the more you harvest, the more she'll bloom :)
Grow Like a Pro: To see if a flower is at peak harvest for cutting, gently shake the stem from about eight inches below the bloom. If the stem bends even slightly, it’s not quite ready. Once the stem is stiff, harvest! We find zinnias last well over one week in a vase and often two, especially when kept out of direct sunlight.
