Persian carpet zinnias (Zinnia haageana) are one of my favorite annuals. Their yellow, orange, red, and burgundy colors appear in different patterns on each flower. These flowers provide a great contrast to the purple salvia ‘Rockin’ Playin’ the Blues’, a new Proven Winners introduction. #inavaseonMonday

‘Rockin’ Playin’ the Blues’ is an even better name for a bloom than ‘Persian Carpet’ – love it! What a floriferous salvia it is and it goes so well with the zinnias too
Thank you!
