A frilly little showstopper that steals hearts fast.
Zinnia ‘Zinderella Lilac’ is the kind of flower you fall for at first glance. Petite, double blooms open in soft shades of blush and lavender, each one finished with a striking dark center that gives the flower depth and personality. They have the charm of miniature gerbera daisies with a hint of double echinacea, making them feel both playful and refined at the same time.
Long, strong stems make this variety a reliable performer in the cutting garden, while the delicate bloom shape keeps bouquets feeling light and romantic rather than heavy. It is a standout summer crop that solves the common problem of wanting something different from standard zinnias without sacrificing productivity or stem quality.
Easy to grow and generous once established, ‘Zinderella Lilac’ thrives in full sun and rewards regular harvesting with steady blooms all season long.
Because sometimes the smallest flowers leave the biggest impression.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors in trays 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, or direct-seed once the weather has warmed. Transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed. Plants establish quickly and grow vigorously in warm soil and sunshine.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Use the wiggle test to determine readiness. Hold the stem about 8 inches below the bloom and gently shake. If the stem bends, wait a few more days. If it stays stiff and upright, it is ready to cut. Do not place stems in a cooler. Zinnias tend to cloud their water, so add a few drops of bleach to keep arrangements fresh. Expect a vase life of approximately 7 days.
A romantic, modern zinnia that earns its place in every summer bouquet.
