Vibrant, Low-Maintenance Blooms for Sun-Drenched Gardens
Zinnia Zahara Double Yellow is a stunning annual flower that brings a burst of sunshine to any garden. This variety produces rich, fully double yellow blooms that reach peak vibrancy within 8-10 weeks of planting. The high petal count of these flowers creates an outstanding visual impact, setting them apart from other zinnia varieties. Developed for its symmetrical mounding habit and sturdy stems, this Zahara series cultivar represents a significant advancement in zinnia breeding.
These zinnias offer a perfect blend of beauty and practicality. Their low-maintenance nature, coupled with disease resistance and heat tolerance, makes them ideal for busy gardeners or those in challenging climates. The profuse blooming over a long season ensures a continuous display of color, while the larger flower size compared to other zinnias creates a bold visual statement. Zinnia Zahara Double Yellow not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of gardens but also serves as a vital nectar source, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds.
In terms of growth, these zinnias form compact mounds reaching 8-10 inches in height and spread. They thrive in full sun exposure and prefer well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The plants exhibit excellent branching, resulting in a bushy appearance covered with 2.5-inch wide blooms. For optimal performance, space plants 16-20 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation, which further enhances their disease resistance.
Growing Success Tips:
- Plant in full sun for best flowering performance
- Ensure well-draining soil to prevent root issues
- Water consistently, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
- Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming
Zinnia Zahara Double Yellow offers exceptional value for gardeners seeking reliable, long-lasting color with minimal upkeep. Its compact size makes it versatile for various garden applications, from borders and mass plantings to container gardens. For an extra burst of late-season color, consider a light pruning in midsummer to promote fresh growth and blooms.
