A bushy annual featuring lance-shaped leaves and double flowers that span 5cm (2in) across, composed of layers of frilly petals in a delightful spectrum of pink, tangerine, and cream, all encircling a striking dark central eye. These captivating scabiosa-flowered forms bloom on sturdy stems from mid-summer through autumn, attracting bees and butterflies while serving as an ideal choice for borders or as a cut flower. Notably, this Zinnia presents both single flowers and double blooms, influenced by temperature changes, while 'Zinderella Peach' stands out for its durability both in garden beds and as a charming addition to floral arrangements.
Grow on under glass and plant out once all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals with a high-potash fertiliser throughout summer
