Bursting into the summer scene even when the UK weather does not! ‘Zinderella Red’ is an exuberant bushy annual, displaying a vibrant floral display from midsummer until the first frosts. Standing at a proud 60cm (24in), these upright plants bear robust stems crowned with 5cm (2in) wide blossoms in striking shades of red, embellished with a captivating central cream halo. What makes these blooms utterly charming is their dual nature, presenting both single and crested scabiosa-like double forms, showcasing layers of frilly petals surrounding a bold dark central eye.


  • 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
