Zinnia 'Swizzle Cherry and Ivory'
Zinnias are long flowering annual plants with bright coloured flowers, ranging from white yellow, orange, reds and purple. They can be singles, semi doubles or doubles and vary in size of bloom and height. They make a good cut flower from which the plant benefits by producing more blooms. Bees and butterflies are attracted to them. 'Swizzle Cherry and Ivory' is part of the Swizzle Series and produces 3"- to 4" blooms, packed with petals and covering the 10" - 12" plants. The inner circle of each bloom is scarlet red, then a narrow white circle and tipped with a pencil-thin edging of red.
