Strawberry Bon Bon Zinnias produce adorable 1–2 inch mini flowers on long, standard-height stems. Their single rows of petals range from pastel pink and deeper pink to lilac, surrounding a raised center that resembles a tiny strawberry.
These are especially useful as a specialty cut flower. Harvest them as soon as the stems are sturdy because the blooms move to seed quickly and develop a cone shape as they mature.
