About Persian Carpet Mix

A sparkly mix of 2" double to semi-double flowers in yellow, orange, mahogany, gold, and burgundy with a few cream and red flowers thrown in. Most flowers are bicolor with contrasting centers or petal tips. A tough plant that thrives despite heat, drought, and wind. Best to direct sow since it does not enjoy being transplanted. Blooms steadily midsummer to frost. A different species than garden zinnias, it has narrower leaves and is bushier. 1952 All-American Selections winner.

Kim says: So happy we are selling these seeds – I’ve been growing them for several years, and they are one of my favorite flowers.

About Zinnia
