Zinnia ‘Meteor’ (Zinnia elegans)
The blood red flowers on ‘Meteor’ make it one of the most desirable of cultivars. Zinnias must be direct seeded into the garden and only once the weather has warmed sufficiently, typically in November in our region. Zinnias start to flower in January and produce until well into April. They are especially good as a cut flower as well as being bright cheerful garden subjects.
