Zinnia 'Oklahoma Carmine'

Good Qualities

Rich color (10); High yield (4); OK hardiness; Very strong stems, Good; Nice stems; Way to go Benary Seed Co., my new favorite color of ‘Oklahoma’ Zinnia; Good doubleness, long strong stems; Good for bouquets; Mostly double flowers; given a better understanding of this little guy, we may be able to make money with it.

Problems

No particular problems; Powdery mildew – mid Aug. (Zone 5); Flower heads too small; Got powdery mildew faster than the other colors; Some variation in color among 12 plants; Very irregular in flower head size; Customers prefer large zinnias; Small, branching flowers and stems; Bad powdery mildew.

Postharvest

Editor’s note: see separate postharvest article in this issue for more information.

Comments

Similar to other Benary zinnias; My customers also loved this one; They always bought it all!; The addition of these 3 colors makes the ‘Oklahoma’ Mix more complete; Most of the test was spent trying to figure out how to handle this compared to bigger zinnias with longer stems; by the time we figured out how, when and where to cut, they were fizzled; Will not plant again, takes too long to harvest; flowers, some single, some double.
