Zinnia elegans ‘Polar Bear’ | White Cut Flower Zinnia | 2 g Seeds

Zinnia elegans ‘Polar Bear’ is a magnificent heirloom variety that brings cool elegance and balance to every summer garden. Its large, double, dahlia-like blooms in creamy white glow beautifully among vivid summer colors — perfect for both garden borders and cut flower production.

This reliable zinnia stands about 90 cm tall and produces strong, upright stems ideal for cutting. The fluffy, fully double blooms — often over 10 cm across — last beautifully in water, making them a favorite for florists and home arrangers alike.

‘Polar Bear’ thrives in full sun, tolerates heat and poor soil, and blooms abundantly until frost. Loved by butterflies, bees, and pollinators, this variety adds purity and texture to bouquets and harmony to mixed plantings.

An easy-to-grow, long-lasting summer flower that rewards with months of blooms — whether in garden beds or floral designs.
