Very bushy and loaded with flowers. Even the foliage still looked great in October. I asked to take some seed heads. I plan on growing this next year..
Grew this from seed. Not very satisfactory: only a tiny hint of the rose color and not on any of the early blossoms. The rose color was...Read More so intermittent that it made the flowers look defective or damaged. This was not a winner in my garden and will not be on my plans for next year.
Planted these this summer. Hard a hard time getting them to start compared to my Benary's giant mix which were a snap and rocked. They ar...Read Moree kind of a plain jane flower for a zinnia-mostly an ivory off-white and daisy like. I too bought them as a bicolor and was disappointed-they showed some bicolor in late fall, but in mid summer were plain white. Do need very little watering so I'll give you that point but I'm overall not a fan. I'll probably go back to swizzle cherry ivory which was a good bicolor. The Zahara doubles look intriguing too.

We had a very hot, dry August and most of my zaharas' just faded away. The ones in large pots fared better, being watered every day, but...Read More they tended towards trailing (flopping). I won't do these again - seriously, zinnias that can't take heat and drought, no thanks.

All the seed catalogs show more of a bicolor bloom. But, aside from the coloring, it is a great plant. Nice bushy habit with LARGE yellow centers. The foliage stays clean and the white blooms age gracefully. Very drought tolerant.

Easy to grow, low maintenance, high mildew resistant zinnia. It's a nice midsized zinnia with lots of blooms. The only disappointment i...Read Mores that very few blooms have a rose colored ring around the middle of the blooms. I consider this zinnia to be more of a solid white, and not a bicolored zinnia.

Very easy to grow, nice low spreading habit. A beautiful plant to fill bedding areas. I grew seeds in flats, transplanting at 12" intervals.
