A lovely confection of doubled petals in bright colors of orange, pink, and yellow and red, plus sweet hues of buttercream, rose, and vanilla. Zinnia Cupcake is a great cut flower with some semi-double and single petaled forms too. Easy to grow, provide fertile, well-drained soils, water mornings only during dry spells and leave room between plants for air circulation for healthy plants. Variable color and form.

HOW TO GROW Zinnia elegans

Sowing Instructions

Depth: 1/16-1/4"
Sprout Time: 5-10 days
Starting Indoors: Sow 6-8 weeks before last frost. Keep at 70-80°F.
Starting Outdoors: Recommended. Direct sow after last spring frost.
When to Set Outside: After last spring frost, when night temperatures remain above 50°F.

Placement & Cultivation

Perfect for mixed borders, beds, or containers, zinnias will brighten up almost any location with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. They are easy to grow and versatile, thrive in varying soil conditions and are easily transplanted, even when growth is significant. Pinch back when seedlings reach about 6-8" in height to encourage bushy growth, and deadhead regularly for a midsummer to frost show.
Final Spacing: 1'
Water Use: Medium Water Use
Watering Details: Tolerates drought, but performs best when watered regularly. Keep moist, watering only in the morning. Avoid wetting the leaves.
Soil pH: Acidic to neutral
Fertilizer: Mix in an organic, all-purpose granular fertilizer soon after planting out, and again when flowering begins.
Diseases & Pests: Avoid fungal issues by spacing properly and placing in a location with good air circulation. If problems arise, treat with an organic fungicide or neem oil. If slugs are troublesome, treat the surrounding soil with pelletized iron phosphate. Diatomaceous earth or crushed eggshells can also be spread on the surrounding soil to prevent or resolve this issue.
When to Cut For Bouquets: Fully opened flowers.

A disappointment Sunday, August 2, 2020

Select Seeds Confirmed Purchase

the plants are vigorous, taller than expected (3+ feet) and have an assortment of colors. But every plant has small single flowers, not very exciting on such tall plants. I didn't even get semi-doubles!
