Note
We purchased the zinnia ‘Super Yoga Salmon Rose’ from Chiltern seeds in 2024. According to the photos and the description on the Chiltern website, this zinnia is salmon pink… Which can also be described as peach or apricot… We think there has been a misidentification, because the color seems much darker to us… Not red enough to be red zinnia, but not salmon or pink enough to be called pink salmon… Could it be ‘Benary’s Giant Coral’, ‘Super Yoga Coral’ or ‘Dahlia-Flowered Coral Beauty’? All varieties available from Chiltern… But it doesn’t matter what we call it for now: it was really beautiful, and the seeds we put in our envelopes will give the same result as in our photos…
