I've grown California Giants many times because they are large and vigorous and, especially, because their color range is fabulous.

This year I'm planting some Cactus Flowered just for something different.

Look for a variety called "Whrligig". It's a two tone, semi double that features one color at the center, blending out into another at the tips. Combinations I've seen are pink/purple, yellow/red, orange/purple, red/white. Very eyecatching.

I have been growing Cactus zinnia here in Hawaii with good results. In spite of all the rain. I also noticed that the coral shade had a very faint sweet scent, does anyone know about zinnias and fragrance? I always thought they were all unscented.
