百日草 '鮭魚玫瑰'

I was worried they'd flop in the summer heat, but these stems stayed tall and sturdy through a whole week of 90-degree weather. The salmon-peach color is exactly as described and really pops against the green foliage.

The blooms are genuinely huge—easily the biggest zinnias I've grown—and those ribbon-like petals give them such an elegant, dahlia look. The stems stayed sturdy through a few windy days, which made cutting them for vases a breeze.

Planted these in a sunny spot and the salmon-peach color is even prettier in person. The flowers are massive compared to my other zinnias, and they've been blooming nonstop for weeks.
