Variety characteristics:

• W1343 Zahara Starlight Rose is an award-winning bicolor zinnia. Compact, mounded plants grow approximately 12–18 inches tall and wide, producing distinctive 2–3 inch single flowers with pure white petals, vivid rose-pink star patterns, and golden-orange centers. Color expression varies with the growing environment, with the strongest rose markings developing under high light, good nutrition, and cool nighttime conditions. Reduced light or inadequate fertility may result in paler or less pronounced markings. Vigorous, well-branched plants provide abundant warm-season flowers in sunny beds, borders, mass plantings, and patio containers. The Zahara series is valued for strong disease tolerance and dependable performance in hot, relatively dry conditions. Individual flowers may vary naturally in the size and intensity of their rose-colored star pattern.
