Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mixture Zinnia

Double Zahara™ Brilliant Mixture zinnia combines Yellow, Cherry, and Fire selections in the Double Zahara series. Its fully double flowers grow on mounded, upright plants listed at 16–20 inches tall and wide; the series is used in sunny landscapes and containers ([PanAmerican Seed product page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/065705372019573/zinnia-double-zahara-brilliant-mixture/)). ## Growing Conditions Give this annual full sun and well-drained soil. NC State Extension notes that Zinnia marylandica grows in clay, loam, sand, or high-organic-matter soils and benefits from moist conditions; its zinnia profile also recommends borders, containers, mass plantings, and cut flowers ([NC State Extension zinnia profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/zinnia-marylandica/common-name/zinnia/)). ## Maintenance Water during dry periods to maintain even moisture. Remove spent flowers to encourage a longer bloom season and allow airflow between plants to reduce powdery mildew pressure.
