Queen Lime Orange Zinnia
Zinnia elegans
Conventionally Grown
These apricot-orange blooms are an overdose of sweetness with a color reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. Mostly double and semi-double apricot flowers with lime green centers. Lovely in bouquets, Queen Lime Orange makes an excellent addition to the cutting garden or flower border. The 2-3 ½ inch flowers attract butterflies and bumblebees against a backdrop of lush green leaves. Deadhead for more blooms.

Growing instructions
Direct sow after frost or sow under protection several weeks before, then transplant. Space 12 inches apart. Zinnias appreciate decent soil but are otherwise fairly easy to grow. Makes an excellent cut flower. Japanese beetles love them, so do pay attention in mid-summer.
