Polar Bear Zinnia
Big white blooms. A garden with presence.
White can hold its own. Polar Bear Zinnia brings full, creamy-white flowers to sunny beds, bold drifts, and bouquets that need a little breathing room. Let the large blooms take center stage, or use them to make the colors around them look even richer. This warm-season annual is a generous cutting-garden flower: plant in warm soil, give each plant room, and keep picking for more blooms.

How to Plant
Prepare, sow, and press.
Before broadcasting, thoroughly mix this individual seed with dry sand, vermiculite, or another clean, dry carrier. A carrier is strongly recommended for most individual species and is especially important for small or lightweight seed. Sow 1/4 inch deep in prepared, well-drained soil. Water gently and keep evenly moist during germination. Thin to about 12 inches apart for branching and airflow. Avoid wetting foliage when practical.
