🌻 Giant Golden Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) The Sun King of the Cutting Garden Command attention in your summer garden with the Giant Golden Zinnia. These towering titans of the flower bed produce massive, dahlia-like blooms that can reach up to 5 inches across. Drenched in a rich, warm, "24-karat" yellow, these flowers glow with an intensity that few other garden plants can match. Whether they are standing tall at the back of a border or serving as the centerpiece of a floral arrangement, these zinnias are the ultimate symbol of mid-summer abundance. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin While the wild ancestors of the zinnia were small, scrubby plants found on the dry plains of Mexico, the "Giant" varieties we love today are a product of early 20th-century American horticultural brilliance. The "Giant" strain (often associated with the California Giant series) was famously developed and refined by Bodger Seeds, Ltd. in California during the 1920s. Before this era, zinnias were often considered "common" or "coarse" flowers. Bodger’s breeding work transformed them into "dahlia-flowered" masterpieces, offering massive size and stems long enough for professional floristry. The "Golden" selection was a highlight of these early catalogs, prized for its ability to provide a "bolt of sunshine" in the garden during the hottest, driest months of August and September. ✨ Product Highlights Massive Blooms: Double and semi-double flowers reaching 4–5 inches in diameter. Sturdy, Tall Stems: Strong 3-to-4-foot stems that won't flop and are perfect for tall vases. Butterfly Magnet: A high-nectar source that is particularly attractive to Monarchs and Swallowtails. Extreme Heat Tolerance: Unlike many garden flowers, these zinnias thrive in the peak of summer heat and humidity. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Heirloom) Growth Habit Tall, Upright Height 36 to 48 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Size 4 to 5 inches wide Days to Maturity 75–90 Days 🌱 How to Grow Giant Golden Zinnias 1. Sowing the Seeds:Zinnias are incredibly easy to grow from seed. They have sensitive roots, so direct sowing is the preferred method once the soil is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds about 6 inches apart initially, then thin to 12–15 inches apart to ensure good air circulation. 2. Soil & Water: These giants aren't picky about soil but do best in rich, well-draining garden beds. Watering: Always water at the base of the plant. Zinnia foliage is prone to powdery mildew if it stays wet, so avoid overhead sprinkling whenever possible. 3. The "Pinch" for Success:To get the most blooms from your Giant Golden Zinnia, pinch the central stem back by about 3–4 inches when the plant is roughly 12 inches tall. This feels counterintuitive, but it forces the plant to branch out, resulting in a bushier plant with many more flower stems. 4. Harvesting for Vases:Zinnias do not open much after they are cut, so wait until they are fully open. The "Wiggle Test": Grab the stem about 6 inches below the flower and give it a gentle shake. If the stem is stiff and the flower doesn't flopping around, it is ready to be cut. 🎨 Garden Design Tip For a high-impact "sunset" look, plant Giant Golden Zinnias alongside deep red varieties or purple salvia. The golden-yellow blooms provide a perfect contrast to cool-toned flowers and will remain vibrant even under the harshest summer sun. Garden Tip: Deadhead (remove faded flowers) regularly. The more you cut your zinnias, the more the plant will work to produce new, fresh blooms! ✂️

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.

White Cap Peony- Peony, 1956 introduction, lactiflora

🏺 Persian Carpet Zinnia (Zinnia haageana) A Tapestry of Jewel-Toned Blooms True to its name, the Persian Carpet Zinnia transforms your garden beds into a lush, woven rug of intricate color. This heirloom favorite produces a staggering variety of 1-to-2-inch, double and semi-double blooms in a rich palette of mahogany, gold, burnt orange, cream, and deep red. Most petals are "tipped" with a contrasting color, creating a striking "target" effect that has made this variety a staple of artistic gardens for over 70 years. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin While the large, common zinnias were being bred for size in California, the Persian Carpet remained true to its rugged, wild roots in the Mexican highlands. It belongs to the Zinnia haageana species, which is naturally more compact and disease-resistant than its cousins. This specific variety stepped into the spotlight in 1952, when it won the All-America Selections (AAS) Award. At a time when gardeners were looking for reliable, low-growing plants to border their mid-century ranch homes, Persian Carpet offered a perfect solution. It was celebrated for its "antique" look—reminiscent of the hand-woven textiles of the Middle East—and its ability to thrive in the sweltering heat of the American summer without the need for constant pampering. ✨ Product Highlights AAS Legend: A 1952 winner that has never gone out of style. Intricate Bicolors: Every flower is a unique work of art, featuring contrasting centers and "frosted" petal tips. Mildew Resistant: Naturally more resistant to powdery mildew than the larger Zinnia elegans varieties, thanks to its narrow, wiry foliage. Pollinator Magnet: The open-faced, nectar-rich blooms are a preferred stop for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual (Heirloom) Growth Habit Mounding, Bushy Height 12 to 18 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Size 1.5 to 2 inches wide Days to Maturity 75–80 Days 🌱 How to Grow Persian Carpet Zinnias 1. Sowing the Seeds:Zinnias are famous for their "grow-it-and-forget-it" nature. They prefer to be direct-sown into the garden once the soil has warmed to at least 70°F and the danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds roughly 6 inches apart, then thin to 9–12 inches apart once they have two sets of leaves. 2. Soil & Water: Soil: These zinnias are incredibly hardy and will grow in poor to average soil, provided it is well-draining. Watering: Water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry. While they are more mildew-resistant than others, good airflow and dry leaves are the keys to a long-lasting plant. 3. The "Self-Branching" Habit:Unlike tall zinnias that can get "leggy," Persian Carpet is naturally bushy. You do not need to pinch the central stem; it will naturally branch out to create a dense, flower-covered mound. 4. Harvesting for Small Vases:Because the flowers are small and the stems are slender but strong, Persian Carpet zinnias are the absolute best choice for "bud vases" or small bedside arrangements. They add a sophisticated, rustic touch to mixed bouquets. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Persian Carpet Zinnias look their best when planted in "drifts" (large groups). Their warm, earthy tones pair exquisitely with silver-foliaged plants like Dusty Miller or cool-toned flowers like Blue Salvia. They also make an excellent "living mulch" to plant at the feet of taller, leggy perennials. Garden Tip: The more you deadhead (remove old flowers), the more the plant will bloom. In a hot summer, a single Persian Carpet plant can produce hundreds of flowers between July and the first frost! 🧵✂️
