The beautiful zinnia coming from South America is a popular and coveted annual flowering plant. Wonderful, vivid colours and original shape of the inflorescences contribute to many advantages of these blooms. You may find different varieties of this species in the garden. We encourage you to buy an unusual zinnia variety - a colourful selection of the scabiosa flowered zinnia.
The scabiosa flowered zinnia differs from the popular garden zinnia (Zinnia elegans) with a elegant flower form resembling this of scabiosa (pincushion flower). On the top of a stiff, erect stem sits an inflorescence consisting of two types of blooms - disc and ray flowers. Lower layer of the tongue-shaped ray flowers creates a "plate" on which tubular disc flowers form a semi-circular cushion. The whole inflorescence, or pseudanthium looks like a single-colour hat. The colour palette of this selection includes white, yellow, orange, pale pink, pink, coral, raspberry red and different, saturated and vivid shades of the above mentioned colours. The flower heads grow quite large - up to 8 cm in diameter. Leaves are cross-positioned on the stem and juicy green. The plant that grows ca. 60 cm tall has an erect, straight and unbranched habit. It is covered by stiff hairs.
Scabiosa flowered zinnia can be used like other, more popular varieties. We can usually find it on borders, flower beds, in groupings of both seasonal and perennial flowers. People visiting your garden will definitely love a border edging formed of this interesting variety. Colourful spots of scabiosa flowered zinnia blooms planted on a lawn will advance to the main ornamental point of our allotment. They will underscore the best characteristics of a rural style garden with their ellegant appearance. Scabiosa flowered zinnia also works great as cut flower. It retains its looks in a vase for up to two weeks. It can form a base for naturalistic bouquets and an addition to them.
