Persian Carpet Zinnia

First Cuttings Look Great

I direct seeded these in zone 7B on a rooftop farm and it had a 100% germ and is super low maintenance. Seems pest resistant as I’ve seen nothing this far but does act like a normal zinnia in that it’s prone to mildew with the wet/hot weather we get here. First round blooms don’t have that deep burgundy I was drawn in by but a bunch in the hand look very lovely.
