How tall do zesty zinnias grow?

Zesty Zinnias, also known as Zinnia ‘Zesty’, are a beautiful flower variety that can add a burst of color to any garden or container. These zinnias are known for their long-lasting, fully double flowers that form stiff ruffs or clusters. One of the great things about Zesty Zinnias is that they continue to bloom vigorously well into the autumn, even when other flowers have started to fade.

In terms of height, Zesty Zinnias typically reach about 60cm (24in) tall. This makes them a great choice for adding some vertical interest to your garden beds or containers. The height of the plant allows the flowers to be easily seen and appreciated, whether you are viewing them from a distance or up close.

I have personally grown Zesty Zinnias in my own garden, and I have found that their height is just right for creating a stunning display. The flowers are at a height that is easily visible and can be enjoyed without having to bend down or strain your neck. This is especially important if you are using them in containers or raised beds where the flowers may be at eye level.

Another benefit of the height of Zesty Zinnias is that it attracts pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are naturally drawn to the bright colors and sweet nectar of the Zinnia flowers. By having the flowers at a height of 60cm, it allows the pollinators to easily access the flowers and collect nectar, which is important for their survival and for the pollination of other plants in your garden.

When it comes to placement in your garden, Zesty Zinnias can be versatile. Due to their height, they can be used as a backdrop or focal point in a border or mixed with other plants of varying heights to create a layered effect. They can also be grown in containers and placed on a patio or balcony, where their vibrant colors can be enjoyed up close.

The height of Zesty Zinnias at 60cm (24in) is just right for creating a stunning display of long-lasting, fully double flowers. Whether you choose to grow them in a garden bed or in containers, they will add a pop of color and attract pollinators well into the autumn season.
