A stunning zinnia series developed for professional cut flower growers, boasting vibrant, mostly double blooms, each reaching 7cm (3in) in size. These robust plants grow 75 to 90cm (30 to 36in) tall, offering sturdy stems ideal for cutting, with excellent branching for multiple bouquets. Thriving in hot, dry conditions, they're beginner-friendly and bloom earlier, maturing in just 75 days. ‘Macarenia’ is revered for its Mexican-inspired boldness, features fiery scarlet petals kissed by gold, a visual delight complemented perfectly when paired with rich-hued purple foliage plants like Ricinus or Coleus, creating a classy and vibrant border display.


  • Garden care:
    Grow on under glass and plant out once all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals with a high-potash fertiliser throughout summer
