How to Grow
Direct sow Zinnia seeds outside after last spring frost. Pretty much any soil works, but fast-draining, gritty soil is best. Zinnia seeds can also be sown indoors, but this not preferred. If you choose to do so, sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and keep at a temperature of 70-80°F.

Zinnia (Zinnia Elegans Dahlia Flowered Purple Prince) - Bring a royal touch to the sunny garden with purple Zinnias! Establish Zinnia Purple Prince from flower seeds, and enjoy the long-bloom season and the rich rosy purple blooms. Purple Prince Zinnia is an heirloom variety and has been around since at least 1949. This Zinnia plant stays showy even with the rainiest weather, and is very disease and mildew resistant. Zinnia plants are native to Mexico, so they tolerate full sun and summer heat. Zinnias are not particular about soil type, but they do not like water-logged soil. Mildew is the biggest issue for Zinnias, so ground watering is preferred to keep the foliage dry. Butterflies will flock to the large 4 - 5 inch Zinnia flowers, and cut as many as you like for indoor arrangements. Zinnia are profuse bloomers; therefore, deadheading and cutting Zinnia flowers for arrangements gives you even more flowers! Start some Zinnias seeds today!
