Quick Overview

Zinnia elegans 'Sprite Mix'.

Product Description

Zinnia elegans 'Sprite Mix' is a delicate and small-flowered yet it's a robust, floriferous hybrid zinnia, which is the easiest to grow in our climate. A bunch of these look brilliant in one of our button jugs.

There is hardly a vegetable garden in France, where you will not see these grown for cutting. They thrive in hot, dry, Mediterranean summers and need good drainage and sunny open positions, but survive our colder, wetter summers fine. Grow as many as you have room for!
