Zinnia elegans

Double golden-yellow flowers blooming summer through fall. This plant does well in warm temperatures and plants will branch out and become quite large if given enough water. Flowers attract a variety of pollinators. Their cheery flowers add color to containers, gardens, and cut flower arrangements.

Plant Height: 4-5’

Light Requirements: full sun

Soil Preference: average fertility and moist soil, pH 5.5-7.5

USDA Zones: 3-10 (annual)

How to Grow

Germination: 3-7 days at 80-85F, light required for germination

Seeding Depth: 1/4” depth

Plant Spacing: 9-12”

Days to Maturity: 75-90 days

Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seeding is recommended after the last frost date.

Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors at least 12 weeks before the first frost date. 

Growing Tips: Plants can be sown in successions every 2-3 weeks for continuous blooms. Pinching is not required for this crop but will encourage higher yields. Pinch plants when they are 8-12” by cutting out the top 2-4”. Plants require horizontal trellising to support stems for cut flower production. Avoid disturbing the roots when transplanting. Remove stems after they have bloomed to promote more flowering.

Cut Flower: Harvest when the stems are stiff and flowers are opened. Vase-life will last 7-10 days with preservative. Adding 1-2 drops of bleach to the water will keep it clean.
