Cabaret Double Cutting Zinnia Flower Seeds

Cabaret arrives like a summer party in full swing, with big, ruffled zinnias in bright rose, purple, lilac, magenta, deep orange, and warm yellow. The fully double flowers make a jubilant color blend for sunny beds and bouquets.

Strong, branching plants grow 3–3½ feet tall and keep sending up long stems through summer and into fall. Give them room and steady moisture, then cut generously: harvesting open flowers encourages fresh branches and another round of bloom.
