Zinnia elegans Art Deco

Zinna elegans Art Deco shades

2 yr old seeds

A large flowered zinnia in purples, pinks, lavender shades, can grow up to 1m in height!

2.5g approx 250 seeds

A heat loving annual. I choose these as I thought they would be great for a cutting flower garden. They can be started inside and planted outside into your sunniest area once danger of frost has passed. I would also direct sow in the polytunnel.

Germination Instructions: Can be sown indoors Mar-Apr into seed compost at temp. 15-25°C. When large enough to handle transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off slowly and plant out after danger of frost has passed. Alternatively you can direct sow where they are to flower Apr-May. Sow 3mm deep in rows a foot apart. apart into well prepared soil. Water regularly. Germination takes 7-14 days.

Growing Instructions : Pinching is recommended to encourage branching.

 Cut flowers regularly to encourage growth and to prolong flowering window or deadhead.

Seed Count: 2.5g approx 250 seeds
