Queeny Lemon Peach is a half-hardy annual offering early summer through fall interest, typically blooming until the first frost. Extremely heavy blooming, this zinnia continuously sets 2- to 4-inch globe-shaped flowers.
Uniquely colored, they emerge lemon yellow with a red eye and a dark peach center and shade beautifully to buff or light coral. Borne singly at the end of a branch, the flowers produce loads of nectar and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators.
The dramatic dahlialike blooms make brilliant, long-lasting cuts for bouquets, bright garnishes for salads, and lovely everlastings.
Big, vigorous, and healthy, Queeny Lemon Peach has a dense, upright, mounding habit of lanceolate leaves and a fast growth rate. A classic garden favorite, zinnia is shown to best effect grouped or massed in beds, borders, and patio pots.
Extremely easy to grow from seed, zinnias prefer full sun and rich, organic, well-drained loam or soil, raked to a fine tilth. Although zinnias are low maintenance, pinching young plants promotes a more compact, bushier plant and deadheading spent flowers keeps zinnias blooming.
