Zinna elegans Lilliput Salmon

1 yr old seeds

Zinnias elegans Lilliput Salmon is a gorgeous colour salmon with a smaller flower head. They produce pretty blooms on long stems and these will come in many colours. Their small flower size makes them perfect for floral arrangements. I found it hard to find exact colourway images of the salmon colour but if you google it , lots come up ( I couldn’t use without licencse!)
