Just 12 to 18 inches high and wide, it can be ed a bit more closely than other bedding Zinnias, again thanks to the mildew resistance. No need to worry about the foliage "touching"! Direct-sow the . When the soil has already warmed and spring is well underway, this will flower within 5 to 6 weeks of sowing. But if you want to get an earlier start, or if that hot April turns into a chilly May, no fear -- Zahara Starlight Rose will grow vigorously all the same, and simply wait for the warm weather before blooming! Why can't all s be this cooperative? Zahara Starlight Rose was award a 2010 All-America Selection for garden-worthiness, and you will soon see why! Ea
