Description
Profusion Double Fire zinnia produces vivid orange-red, double to semi-double blooms above a dense mound of green foliage. This easy-to-grow, warm-season annual typically reaches about 1–2 feet tall and wide. The flowers brighten beds and containers and are visited by butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
Growing Profusion Double Fire in Alabama
Plant outdoors after the last spring frost in full sun, ideally six or more hours each day. Provide well-drained garden soil and water at the base while plants establish; once rooted, water deeply during dry spells rather than keeping the soil wet. Space plants to allow air movement, which is especially important in Alabama’s humid summers. Avoid overhead irrigation late in the day. Profusion zinnias are bred for a compact, floriferous habit and usually need little deadheading. They bloom from late spring into fall until frost and perform well in sunny borders, mass plantings, and patio pots.
