These bright, lilac-colored beauties live up to their name and are certainly fit for a princess. Zinderella Lilac Zinnias have a distinct dome shape and variable petal arrangements with a cream halo around a center eye. When nighttime and daytime temperatures are closer together, blooms produce a single layer of petals. When a larger difference in temps is present, multi-layered petals appear! This cut-and-come-again variety will last until frost when dead-headed or cut back regularly, attracting pollinators to the garden all through the season.
