زينيا 'Aztec Sunset'

I was pleasantly surprised at how compact these zinnias stayed in my front border—they didn't flop over at all. The buttercream-to-merlot blooms are truly unique and opened continuously for weeks.

The compact size is a huge win for my small balcony garden—these stayed neat without staking, and the buttercream-to-merlot shading on each bloom kept changing as they opened. I’m honestly a little obsessed with how long they held up in a vase.

The color range on these blooms is incredible — I've got flowers going from pale buttercream all the way to deep merlot on the same plant. The compact size makes them perfect for a small garden bed.
