Zinnia elegans
Cactus flowered zinnias are an old favorite in the Zinnia family, despite being less commonly known these days. They are known for their incredible variation of almost every color of the rainbow and their bizarrely quilled petals! Like other zinnias, they are a cut and come again annual. They are sure to be eye-catching in any bouquet or garden.
