Zinnia elegans - Magellan Cherry

Vivid, compact, and absolutely joyful, Zinnia elegans ‘Magellan Cherry’ is a little jewel box of summer color. Tidy, garden-friendly plants are covered with large, fully double blooms in rich cherry-pink, each flower packed with ruffled petals and glowing, saturated color. Bold without feeling harsh, this zinnia brings a lush, polished brightness to containers, borders, cutting gardens, pollinator plantings, and sunny summer beds.

Also known as Magellan Cherry Zinnia, this easy annual grows about 12 to 14 inches tall and is loved for its compact habit, long bloom season, and big flower power. It is perfect for patio pots, edging, cottage gardens, small-space flower beds, and anywhere you want strong color on neat, abundant plants. Mass it for a cheerful ribbon of cherry-pink, tuck it into containers for instant summer glamour, or pair it with lime zinnias, white cosmos, purple salvias, marigolds, ornamental grasses, and silver foliage for a fresh, high-impact display.

Plant Zinnia elegans ‘Magellan Cherry’ in full sun with regular water. Deadhead or cut flowers often to encourage continued bloom, and expect plenty of visits from bees and butterflies. Compact, colorful, and wonderfully floriferous, this cherry-pink zinnia brings easy beauty, bouquet-worthy blooms, and bright pollinator-friendly charm all season long.
