Queeny Red Lime is my absolute favorite zinnia of all time. I could not get enough of her last year and plan to plant even more this season. Queenie Red Lime zinnias open in a warm, brick-red coral and gradually fade toward lime green at the petal tips — the kind of color combination that sounds like it shouldn't work until you see it in a vase and can't stop staring at it.
Her color combinations are surprisingly versatile and work with a wide range of color palettes, making her a staple in my late-summer/fall bouquets.
Zinnas benefit from pinching. Zinnias are also cut-and-come-again, meaning the more you cut them for bouquets, the more stems they will send out.
General recommendations suggest planting them 6” to 9” apart. (I usually give them 4" to 6" of space.)
Plus, the pollinators love them.
Zinnias thrive in the heat of summer and will start to look a bit ratty by the end of September, as fall’s moisture and rain set in. They will die with the first frost.
Each purchase is for a pack of six small but mighty seedlings. Every purchase comes with a grow guide.
I will harden off all the seedlings before you pick them up, so they will be ready to plant at the time of pickup.
Please note: The photos of the plugs are not of this plant — they are included as an example of the overall size of the seedlings.
