A bright, uplifting choice for bringing joy to any garden space. Double Cherry Zinnia (Zinnia marylandica ‘Zahara Double Cherry’).
• Produces abundant, fully double cherry‑pink blooms that last for months.

Plant your Zinnias in full sun with well‑draining soil to encourage strong, compact growth. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce once plants are settled, they prefer drier conditions over soggy soil. Deadheading is optional, as the Zahara series blooms continuously even without it. Feed with a balanced fertiliser every 4–6 weeks to prolong flowering. In Cape Town, replant annually in early spring for the longest flower season.
