Zinnia - Canary (Zinnia elegans) Yellow Canary Yellow Zinnias Flower

Annual

Height 30 in

Striking and gorgeous, these Canary Yellow Zinnias are a fantastic addition to brighten up any garden - this variety produces colourful dahlia-like large ( 4 to 5 in across) blooms that sit atop sturdy stems that typically do not require staking. Excellent for cutting flower gardens, cottage gardens and borders. Attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, and is a good source of nectar for all. Deer resistant and drought tolerant.

Although zinnias are low maintenance, pinching young plants out promotes a compact, bushier plant. Remove the foliage and don't be afraid to cut off side shoots on the mainstem just harvested; deadheading the spent flowers keeps zinnias blooming. Zinnias are a 'cut and come again' flower - when you cut the plant 'hard', it responds by sending out even more long, strong stems all season long!
