That's quite the name, no? 'Zowie Yellow Flame' lives up to expectations. The flowers are bold in what first appears to be old-fashioned zinnia colors. The flowers actually start off a kind of magenta-pink and darken as they age to a ruby-rose, only to end their time on the plant yellow and red. Zowie!

Flowers are about 3 inches across, blooming on plants about 2 feet tall. Minimal pinching is needed to keep the plants full, but deadheading will keep them producing more and more flowers.
