Zinnia 'Red Cap'
(Zinnia elegans)
50 seeds $3.00
HomeWow! What a color. Red Cap zinnia has small, pom-pom style flowers in a stunning shade of fire-engine red. The relatively short, bushy plants produce loads of blooms from midsummer to frost.
This rare zinnia comes from Russia. It has pretty much disappeared from commerce, but I've been keeping it going by saving seeds. We have a limited amount to sell this year.
Zinnia 'Red Cap' is my personal favorite. I love to plant it with white flowers like Cleome 'Helen Campbell', Cosmos 'Dwarf White' or Nicotiana alata.
Zinnias are easy to grow and heat tolerant. The flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies and beneficial insects.
