I apologize if someone has already posted about this zinnia before. I heard the variety "cherry & ivory" Swizzle was a very nice annual. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Pam |

| Aren't they pretty! Showy, too. (I realize I'm no help--sorry!) :-) |

Pam,
This is another hybrid with the same coloration as ivory and cherry Swizzle, but on a much better plant.
Some Whirlygig specimens have a picotee effect.
Some of my hybrids combine the two-color effect with a scabious flower form.
However, Swizzles have the advantage of uniformity, and if you want to create a low-growing zinnia bed, and you can afford the seed or the plants, they can be very effective. |

| Beautiful pictures -- thanks! Pam |

| Very Nice pictures! I just planted a pack of "Swizzle" not much germanination compared to the other zinnia's I planted. |
|
| I have a question. If I save seed from "swizzle zennia's , knowing they are a F1 hybrid, what would be your guess as to what the planting would yield? I know they will not be true to the parent plant, but how far off the parent plant would a person expect? Thanks |

| I plant Swizzle Cherry & Ivory every year.I start inside due to the expensive seeds.I have gotten them already in bloom in 6 packs.Seems to me they get a little taller than 12 ins. here. I really like what Zenman has done with his crosses. Rose |
