Slows down in mid-summer. It is weather-tolerant and especially effective in mass plantings. The series includes magenta rose, speckled pink, blue, yellow, and white. Zinnia 'Oklahoma Mix' is a medium-sized plant that has very bright colors and is a heavy producer all season long. Great for bedding plants and cut flowers.
Most flowers are fully double with some semi-doubles.
In trials, less susceptible to powdery mildew. A sturdy, carefree plant, as most sunflowers are, it grows to five feet tall and bears flowers on multi-branched stems. Outrageous in bouquets, mixed with sunflowers of other colors. Begonia 'Eureka' is a new, vigorous series, designed for superior garden performance. Available in a range of green and bronze leaf colors.
