Organic Zinnia «Purple Queen»
When seeds of zinnias were collected and brought to Europe in the 18th century, the plants were not much to look at. Named for the German botanist Dr Johann Gottfried Zinn, who wrote the first description of the flower, the genus Zinnia had to wait for the mid-19th century to become successful in the garden.
When Zinnias were introduced to Europeans, the flowers were referred to as 'poorhouse flower' and 'everybody's flower' because they were so easy to grow. They were also once popularly called 'youth and old age' because old blooms stay fresh as new blooms open. Years of breeding have brought striking new colours, shapes, sizes, and growing habits to the humble zinnia. No present day gardener would ever describe this versatile bloomer as anything less than eye catching.
Zinnias may have fell out of favour for a while with home gardeners, but now they are back in fashion with a vengeance. They are extremely easy to grow from seed and are the perfect flower for beginners. They provide colour from mid-summer to autumn and are perfect for cutting. Zinnias are a favourite flower of both gardeners and florists around the world.
Zinnia elegans 'Purple Queen' feature large 10 to 15 cm (4 to 5in) purple blooms. Growing 50-80 cm (30in) tall, with thick straight stems that are less likely to bend when being cut, they make wonderful cut flowers and have a long vase life. They'll keep blooming all through a hot season. Bees and butterflies will be attracted to them too. No wonder the latest 'must have' flower in the garden is the old fashioned Zinnia.
