A “WOW” color in an easy-to-grow zinnia is what Queeny Lime Orange brings to the garden. Sporting lovely, large, dahlia-like blooms on a sturdy, compact plant, this variety provides cut flower gardeners and growers with a wonderful hue for today’s floral trends. The unique color evolves from dark coral/peach/orange to a light peach with a dark center as the flowers age. In the trial gardens, visitors loved the show-stopping color and large blooms, making it this year’s fan-favorite. This new AAS Winner is also perfect for cut flower gardens as each uniform plant produces prolific deeply fluted blooms that last about 3 weeks without preservatives or feed.
Queeny Lime Orange is also the recipient of the Fleuroselect Gold Medal award for performance in European trials.

Lovely multi-hued large flowers on sturdy stems that hold up well, no flopping due to wind or heavy rain. Zone 6a

Zinnias are a must in my garden, but I have to admit I wasn’t completely sold on this variety due to its more subdued coloring. Happy to report that they’ve won me over, BIG TIME. They’re tough, withstand high winds and are prolific. Zone 5b

I really love this zinnia’s unusual coloring. It has performed well the past few years and mixes beautifully with other color combinations. It seems resistant to mildew even with overhead watering.
