Zinnia Holi Scarlet F1

2019 AAS Flower Winner

This beautiful Winner is named after the famous Holi Festival of Colors because of its vibrant color! AAS Judges deemed this an “excellent flower” because of the bright solid color, size, and the number of blooms as well as the disease resistance, which was superior to the comparisons. Holi Scarlet will keep producing fresh, colorful blooms all season long, even through heat, humidity, and drought. Uniform and compact mounding plants will make a stunning mass planting of vibrantly colored deep red flowers drawing in both people and pollinators.

Reviews

  1. Jeni Cullen, Krohn Conservatory, Cincinnati, OH – 12/17/2020

    Large, beautiful flowers on nice stocky stems. Minimal care is necessary, and no mildew the past few years even with overhead watering.

  2. George – 07/04/2020

    Very compact and colorful, although mine look like they’re a bit on the orangish side of red. I have heavy deer pressure, and the deer aren’t touching these. No mildew either. This is excellent cultivar.

  3. Gail – 09/23/2019

    This color is amazing! So easy to grow and the pollinators love them!
