Full Description
Zinnia ‘Linen’ (Zinnia elegans) is a soft, elegant variety featuring large, fully double blooms in warm neutral tones of creamy beige, champagne, and pale blush. Its sophisticated, muted colouring makes it especially popular for modern gardens, cut flower arrangements, and wedding-style bouquets.

This variety is a favorite among florists and gardeners alike for its reliability, easy care, and beautiful, timeless colour palette.
