Zinnia, Orange Anemone (80 days) Zinnia elegans - A standout from our Tidepool Mix population that possesses the quilled petals of the Cactus types in pleasing hues from pale orange to a more orange red. Breeder Don Tipping is selecting for highly doubled revolute and fimbriated, a trait where petal tips are not pointed as is typical, rather they are splayed out. Special attention is given to encouraging and stabilizing the squiggly petal trait in which the petals zig zag out from the central disc. This is a variety still in development so you can expect some variation, however, subsequent iterations will become more unique and uniformly amazing! Very limited quantities.

Zinnia, Tidepool Mix (75 days) This was the outcome of an intentional cross between our Cactus Mix with its wondrous highly doubled, quilled petals and the marvelous Dreamin’ Mix which is an interspecies cross between Zinnia elegans and Zinnia haageana. The resulting progeny will undoubtedly be a wild and raucous combination of the myriad phenotypes possible between this genetic mashup. During the Fall Seed Academy class we went through a field of thousands of plants to select our favorite individuals and that is the origin of the Tidepool Mix, named for the propensity of many of the flowers to resemble sea anemones. Grow it and discover the wonders of nature for yourself.
