Zinnia Elegans Purple Prince feature large 10 to 12cm (4 to 5in) purple blooms. Growing 75cm (30in) tall, with thick straight stems that are less likely to bend when being cut, they make wonderful cut flowers and have a long vase life. They'll keep blooming all through a hot season. Bees and butterflies will be attracted to them too. No wonder the latest 'must have' flower in the garden is the old fashioned Zinnia.
