Zinnia (Zinnia elegans Queeny Lime Red) - These 2 to 3 1/2" blooms have soft burgundy outer petals that gradually lighten to creamy lime centers. A mix of fully double and semi-double flowers with a small percentage of singles. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season. Previously and widely known as "Queen Red Lime." Over the years, as the breeder has developed new colors in the series, they have transitioned the series name from "Queen" to "Queeny."
Perfectly-formed blooms in a unique color combination make a spectacular display in beds and borders. This bushy, compact variety has formidable garden performance, flowering continuously throughout summer regardless of dry conditions. The distinctive blooms of Zinnia elegans 'Queeny Lime Red' are particularly attractive to bees and butterflies, and make a lovely cut flower too. Grow this annual with its sister variety, Zinnia elegans 'Queen Lime' for a superb contrast with a contemporary color twist.
