More arriving 3/12 - Queeny Lime Orange Zinnia: The Modern Masterpiece 🍊💚 Meet the showstopper of the summer garden. The Queeny Lime Orange Zinnia is a multi-award-winning variety that has redefined the "vintage" look for the modern age. With its breathtaking evolution of color—from deep coral-orange to a soft, refreshing lime green—this zinnia looks more like a designer watercolor painting than a simple garden flower. 🏆 An Award-Winning Pedigree Don't just take our word for it—this variety has won the most prestigious awards in the horticultural world: All-America Selections (AAS) Winner: Recognized for its superior garden performance, heat resistance, and unique color. Fleuroselect Gold Medal: Awarded by the international organization for the ornamental plants industry for its innovation and beauty. ✨ Why the "Queeny" Series is a Game-Changer While heirloom zinnias offer historical charm, the Queeny series (a modern "open-pollinated" selection) provides the robust health and high-fashion colors today's gardeners crave. Dramatic Color Transition: Each bloom starts as a vibrant, fiery orange at the center, which gradually fades out to a sophisticated lime-green toward the edges of the petals. Fully Double Blooms: Most flowers are packed with petals, creating a "pom-pom" or dahlia-like appearance that adds incredible texture to the garden. Disease Resistance: Specifically bred for superior resistance to powdery mildew—the "nemesis" of most zinnia growers. Perfect Height: Reaching about 24–30 inches, it is tall enough for long-stemmed bouquets but sturdy enough that it rarely requires staking. 🌿 Product Specifications Feature Details Common Name Queeny Lime Orange Zinnia Botanical Name Zinnia elegans Plant Type Annual Mature Height 24 – 30 Inches Bloom Size 2 – 3.5 Inches Color Profile Bi-color (Coral-Orange & Lime-Green) Sun Requirement Full Sun Days to Bloom 60 – 75 Days 📖 Growing & Care Tips The "Vase Life" Secret: For the longest-lasting bouquets, harvest your Queeny zinnias using the "Wiggle Test." Hold the stem about 6 inches below the flower and shake it gently. If the stem is stiff and doesn't flop, it is ready to be cut! Timing: Wait for the heat. Zinnias are "sun-worshippers" and will grow twice as fast if you wait until the nights are consistently above 55°F to plant. Sowing: Direct sow 1/4" deep in well-drained soil. They can be started indoors, but they truly thrive when sown exactly where they are to bloom. Pinching: For a bushier plant with more flowers, "pinch" out the central bud when the plant is about 10–12 inches tall. This forces the plant to branch out and produce twice as many stems! Watering: Water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry, which further helps prevent any spotting or mildew. 💐 Perfect For... Floral Designers: This is currently the most requested zinnia for wedding work and high-end floral arrangements because of its "muted" and "antique" tones. Pollinator Gardens: Despite the double blooms, bees and butterflies are still highly attracted to the nectar-rich centers. Mass Plantings: Plant in large drifts for a stunning "sunset" effect in your landscape. Elevate your garden to "Royal" status. Add the Queeny Lime Orange Zinnia to your collection today! 🛒✨ Style Pairing: At the shop, we recommend planting these alongside Bells of Ireland to accentuate the lime-green tones, or with Purple Salvia for a high-contrast, professional look!

Queeny Orange Lime Zinnia Flower

Festiva Maxima is a standout performing for us. We love the huge double blossom. This variety does well as a cut flower and js long lasting in the garden too. The flower has magenta highlights typically in the center. It’s a great cut flower and we love peonies that are both great in the landscape and great as cut flowers. Check out all of our peonies - Peonies (fireflyfarmandmercantile.com) White Double Blossoms 36" tall, great cut flowers, staking helps Blooms late spring to early summer Peonies are safe from deer and rabbits. USDA Zones 3-8 Moderately fragrant Origin: 1851, France Botanical Name: Paeonia lactiflora 3-5 Eye Rootstock - We try to only provide the largest rootstock for peonies for stronger roots that lead to better blooms. 2-3 eye roostock is the most common size offered and occassionally it is what we have to use, but 3-5 eyes per root is our goal and we always will say the stock is 2-3 eyes. Eyes are the buds of the leaves and stems that will grow this season for you. Shipping - See options to select from - All peonies are packed in spagnum moss or other media to ensure they make it to your garden in pristine condition. We do adjust for shipping charges as every year is slighly different in weights and sizes. Planting Care - Bare roots should be kept cool and in the dark until ready to plant. Peonies do not like to be planted deep and eyes should be kept no deeper than 1" below the soil surface. When possible, it is a great idea to mound your peonies above your existing garden grade to accommodate mulch. Plant no deeper than 1-2". The roots will quickly develop and anchor into the ground. Full Sun or Partial Sun is best Prefers loamy soil, can be planted in sandy or clay soils with compost amendments Give them room to grow as they don't like to be moved once established Some blooms may occur first year when planting in the spring, fall planted peonies will yield spring blooms most of the time

🌸 Benary’s Giant Zinnia Mix (Zinnia elegans) The Professional’s Choice: The Industry Gold Standard for Cut Flowers If you are looking for the absolute "King" of the zinnia world, you have found it. Benary’s Giant Mix is the premier professional-grade zinnia, prized by flower farmers and home gardeners alike for its massive, dahlia-like blooms and unrivaled performance. Reaching up to 4 inches across and sitting atop thick, sturdy stems, these zinnias offer a breathtaking rainbow of vibrant, saturated colors that stay beautiful in the garden and the vase far longer than standard varieties. 📜 Historical Heritage & The Benary Legacy The story of this variety is rooted in the excellence of European horticultural history. It was developed by Ernst Benary, the founder of the legendary Benary Seed Company in Erfurt, Germany. Founded in 1843, Benary is one of the oldest and most respected family-owned seed houses in the world. For generations, the Benary family focused on breeding plants that combined ornamental beauty with "industrial" strength. The Benary’s Giant series was the pinnacle of this effort. While other zinnias were prone to flopping or succumbing to disease, the Benary’s were bred for professional floristry. They were selected for long, stiff stems that wouldn't bend in a vase and, most importantly, for a high level of powdery mildew resistance—a breakthrough in zinnia breeding that made them a favorite across the globe. Today, it remains the most-planted zinnia series by commercial cut-flower growers worldwide. ✨ Product Highlights Massive Double Blooms: Produces 3-to-4-inch, fully double flowers that resemble dahlias in their complexity and depth. Vibrant Color Palette: A joyous mix of scarlet, orange, yellow, white, rose, purple, and coral. Elite Stem Strength: Long, thick stems (up to 40 inches) that are designed to support the heavy weight of the giant blossoms. Disease Resistant: Specifically bred to withstand powdery mildew better than almost any other giant zinnia variety. Butterflies & Pollinators: The wide, nectar-rich faces are a preferred landing pad for Monarchs, Swallowtails, and bees. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Professional Selection) Growth Habit Tall, Upright, Well-branched Height 36 to 48 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Size 3 to 4 inches across Days to Maturity 75–90 Days 🌱 How to Grow Benary’s Giant Zinnias 1. Sowing the Seeds:Zinnias are fast-growing and prefer to be direct-sown once the soil is warm (70°F+) and all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds roughly 6 inches apart, then thin to 12–15 inches apart once they are established to allow for the best airflow. 2. The "Pinch" for Maximum Yield:To get the most "cuts" per plant, pinch the central stem back by 3–4 inches when the plant is about 12 inches tall. This signals the plant to branch out from the base, resulting in many more long-stemmed flowers rather than just one main bloom. 3. Soil & Water: Watering: Always water at the base of the plant. Avoid wetting the foliage, as this is the best way to prevent powdery mildew and leaf spot. Feed: Amend the soil with compost at planting. A balanced organic fertilizer once or twice during the peak of summer will help maintain the massive bloom size. 4. Harvesting for the Vase:Zinnias do not open much after they are cut. Harvest when the flower is fully open. The Wiggle Test: Grab the stem 6 inches below the flower and shake it. If the neck is stiff and the flower doesn't flopping around, it’s ready to be cut for the longest vase life. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Because of their height, Benary’s Giants should be placed at the back of your flower beds. They provide a stunning, colorful "wall" that serves as a backdrop for shorter flowers. For a professional-looking garden, plant them in color-coordinated groups rather than a random mix to create bold "pops" of color. Garden Tip: The more you cut these flowers, the more they will bloom! Don't be afraid to harvest massive bouquets; the plant will respond by producing even more buds until the first hard frost. ✂️🌈

Peruvian Yellow Zinnia: The Golden Heirloom of the 1700s ☀️🌿 Travel back to the 18th century with the Peruvian Yellow Zinnia (Zinnia peruviana). This is not your average bedding zinnia; it is a refined, elegant ancestor of the modern hybrid. One of the first zinnias ever introduced to European and Colonial American gardens, it offers a sophisticated, wild-flower aesthetic that brings a sense of antiquity and effortless beauty to your andscape. 🏛️ A Journey Through Time The 1700s Original: While most garden zinnias are derived from Zinnia elegans, this rare species (Z. peruviana) was the primary zinnia grown in the botanical gardens and estate landscapes of the 1700s. Colonial Charm: It was a favorite in early American gardens, prized for its ability to withstand the intense summer heat of the colonies while providing a constant source of "everlasting" color. The Botanical Link: It serves as a living link to the high-altitude landscapes of the Andes Mountains in Peru, where it was first discovered and collected by early plant explorers. ✨ Why You’ll Love This Antique Variety Elegant Form: Features single, overlapping petals that form a delicate, saucer-shaped bloom. The center is topped with a distinct, golden-yellow cone of disc florets. Unique Color Palette: The petals are a soft, buttery "dusty yellow" that matures into an antiqued, parchment-like gold. It lacks the neon brightness of modern hybrids, making it perfect for "Moonlight Gardens" or muted color schemes. Pollinator Magnet: Because it is a single-flowering variety, the nectar and pollen are easily accessible. It is a top-tier choice for attracting Native Bees, Hoverflies, and small Butterflies. Self-Seeding Beauty: This species is an excellent re-seeder. Once established, it will gently return year after year, colonizing your garden with historic charm. 🌿 Product Specifications Feature Details Common Name Peruvian Yellow Zinnia / Wild Zinnia Botanical Name Zinnia peruviana Origin Peru & Mexico (Introduced in 1700s) Plant Type Tall Annual Mature Height 24 – 30 Inches Bloom Type Single (Antique Gold/Yellow) Sun Requirement Full Sun Days to Bloom 65 – 75 Days 📖 Growing & Care Tips The "Heirloom" Advantage: Unlike modern zinnias that are prone to powdery mildew, the Peruvian Yellow has a natural, wild-type resilience. Its thinner, lacy foliage allows for better airflow, keeping the plant healthier during humid summers. Direct Sow: Like all zinnias, this variety has sensitive roots. Sow directly into the garden once the soil is warm (at least 70°F). Light Cover: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. They need warmth and moisture to germinate, which usually takes 7–10 days. The Cut-and-Come-Again Rule: Do not be afraid to harvest! The more you cut these slender, wiry stems for bouquets, the more the plant will branch and bloom. Drought Tolerance: Once established, Z. peruviana is more drought-tolerant than most garden zinnias, making it a "water-wise" historical choice. 💐 Perfect For... Period Gardens: An absolute must for anyone maintaining a 1700s or 1800s accurate historical restoration. Meadow Planting: Its slender stems and "wild" look allow it to blend seamlessly with ornamental grasses and native perennials. Unique Bouquets: The stems are long and airy, adding a sophisticated, "fine-art" floral look to arrangements. Add the golden glow of the Andes to your garden beds. Order your Peruvian Yellow Zinnia seeds today and grow a piece of history! 🛒🌻 Marketing Tip for your Shop: This variety pairs beautifully with our Bells of Ireland or Painted Lady Sweet Peas for a complete "18th Century Grand Tour" garden collection!

Planting Care - Bare roots should be kept cool and in the dark until ready to plant. Peonies do not like to be planted deep and eyes should be kept no deeper than 1" below the soil surface. When possible, it is a great idea to mound your peonies above your existing garden grade to accommodate mulch. Plant no deeper than 1-2". The roots will quickly develop and anchor into the ground. Full Sun or Partial Sun is best Prefers loamy soil, can be planted in sandy or clay soils with compost amendments Give them room to grow as they don't like to be moved once established Some blooms may occur first year when planting in the spring, fall planted peonies will yield spring blooms most of the time

Scarlet Heaven- Single scarlet red blossoms. There is no pollen and it is lightly scented. When it is in full blossom, this shrub will be a focus from the intese color of the blossom making it a striking plant in mass or stand-alone plantings.

Itoh Peonies are crossed with herbaceous (lactiflora) and tree peonies, resulting in plants that can provide 50 plus blossoms on shorter stems that do not require staking. They bloom after herbaceous peonies and allow a few more weeks of blooms in your garden of the peony family, thus increasing their appeal. It is possible to get 8 weeks of peony blooms by seelcting cultivars and peony types that are different.

3-5 Eye Rootstock- We try to only provide the largest rootstock for peonies for stronger roots that lead to better blooms.  2-3 eye roostock is the most common size offered and occassionally it is what we have to use, but 3-5 eyes per root is our goal. Eyes are the buds of the leaves and stems that will grow this season for you.
