25/3.89 ZAHARA DOUBLE STRAWBERRY Zinnia
Zahara series are premium, easy to grow, heat, drought, and humidity resistant zinnias. They grow 16-20 in. tall, and are continuously covered in vibrant 2½ in. blooms throughout the season. These are tough plants, ideal for hot, sunny, dry areas in which conventional zinnias or vincas have previously failed. Zinnias in the Zahara series are highly resistant to mildew and leaf spot; they are impressive performers in the landscape, or containers. The Dallas Arboretum includes Zahara zinnias on their 'Flameproof' Plants list for their ability to grow and thrive in severe heat.
Brilliant double, fuchsia-colored flowers. As blooms age, they shade lighter in the center. Easy to grow, long-flowering, 16-20 in. tall plants resist heat, drought, disease, and humidity.
