Zinnia elegans - Queeny Lime Orange

Vintage, painterly, and completely irresistible, Zinnia elegans ‘Queeny Lime Orange’ is one of those extraordinary zinnias that makes every bouquet feel instantly more artful. The blooms shift through dreamy shades of apricot, peach, coral, rose, lime, and soft orange, with each flower opening a little differently. Together, they create a romantic, antique watercolor effect that feels warm, luxurious, and beautifully unexpected in the summer garden.

This award-winning annual grows about 24 to 30 inches tall and is a favorite for cutting gardens, cottage borders, pollinator plantings, and sunny mixed beds. Its unusual warm tones are especially gorgeous with cream cosmos, amaranthus, celosia, ornamental grasses, dark foliage, pale blue flowers, and other bouquet-friendly annuals. Strong stems and long-lasting blooms make it wonderfully useful for fresh arrangements, while bees and butterflies add plenty of motion and life to the garden display.

Plant Zinnia elegans ‘Queeny Lime Orange’ in full sun with regular water. Cut flowers often and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers through summer and fall. Elegant, abundant, and full of soft harvest-season glamour, this zinnia is a must-grow for anyone who loves unusual color, romantic bouquets, and pollinator-friendly summer beauty.
