Scarlet Flame Zinnia is a vibrant heirloom variety originating from Mexico, selected for its intense crimson-red flower color and exceptional performance across challenging growing environments. This pack contains 500 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with a 70% or better germination rate, establishing compact plants that produce abundant one- to two-inch flower heads in striking scarlet tones on sturdy stalks within approximately 80 days of germination. The variety excels in hot, drought-stressed conditions where conventional ornamentals falter, while demonstrating inherent resistance to mildew, fungal diseases, common garden pests, and deer predation—eliminating reliance on chemical treatments or protective interventions. The semi-dwarfed growth habit provides exceptional versatility for container gardening, raised beds, garden borders, and landscape mass plantings, accommodating both space-constrained and expansive garden designs. The prolific, long-lasting blooms in vivid scarlet create dramatic visual impact while simultaneously attracting butterflies and bees with remarkable consistency, making Scarlet Flame an excellent choice for pollinator gardens and ecological plantings requiring reliable nectar and pollen resources. Zinnias are recognized as superior cut flowers, with individual blooms maintaining color and form in arrangements for extended periods, providing both garden display and indoor floral arrangements from a single planting. The fast-growing, long-blooming nature ensures continuous flowering from mid-summer through first frost, delivering sustained color intensity and pollinator support throughout the entire growing season. Our Non-GMO seed production and environmentally responsible, climate-friendly, reusable, and fully recyclable packaging reflect our commitment to sustainable horticultural practices.
