Zinnia
UPTOWN Sunstreak Zinnia
Clear lemon yellow single daisy shaped flowers cover the mounded green foliage starting in late June and extending into mid-September. This cultivar is stout stemmed and well branched making for a sturdy plant less prone to breakage in large containers and flower beds. A delight in the world of pollinators, it attracts a wide range of species throughout it's long period of flower. Zinnias prefer well drained soils in sunny locations, water during periods of drought, and moderate fertilization. As with all zinnias, take care to ensure good air movement around the plants to reduce the incidence of powdery and downy mildews later in the season.
