Grow Polar Bear Zinnias from fresh Zinnia elegans flower seeds. A similar selection to that of the Benary's Giant Zinnia, this variety displays beautiful white blooms that will expand to a large diameter of 4 to 6 inches wide. The flower heads are filled with rows and rows of gorgeous, tightly packed petals. The plants themselves will grow to a mature height of roughly 30 to 40 inches tall. Grown as an annual flowering plant, the Polar Bear Zinnia will grow quickly, bloom profusely and then later die with the first killing frost. This particular strain will grow long stems which makes for a great cut flower. You can use it in floral arrangements and bouquets. The blooms should flower in roughly 75 to 90 days after first sprouts appear. You might be shocked to learn that Zinnias weren't always so popularly chosen to please the eye. In fact, when the Spanish first discovered the Zinnia, they named it "mal de ojos," which simply translates to "Sickness of the eye". However, over many years of breeding, the Zinnia flower has become eye candy for gardeners all over the world. It is sought after for it's gorgeous double blooms, attractive foliage, and brightly colored petals. You will be pleasantly surprised to know that we carry over 25 Zinnia flower seeds in our online shop. Check out the Zinnia category for all sorts of popular favorites, such as "Purple Prince" or "Candystripe". You will also find a large selection of the rest of the Dahlia Flowered collection as well.
