How To Grow
These zinnia seeds germinate at an optimal soil temperature of 75-85F degrees. If starting indoors, start 4-6 weeks before last expected frost. After last frost, transplant outdoors. If sowing directly outdoors, sow after the last expected frost when soil temperatures reach 70F degrees. Sow seeds 8-12 inches apart at a depth of 1/8th inch. After seedlings have established, thin to the strongest plant. Starting indoors will result in an earlier bloom, and sowing outdoors will produce a later bloom. If a bushier habit is desired, pinch back young plants.
- Soil: well-drained with Ph 6.0-6.5
- Sowing rate: 2-4 seeds per plant

Zinnia (Zinnia Elegans Swizzle Scarlet Yellow) - Shake up your flower garden with these striking bicolors. Eye-catching, fully double, and yellow and red bicolor flowers demand attention. Full, bushy plants growing 12 - 14 inches tall and 10 - 12 inches wide are covered with 3 - 4 inch blooms. Zinnias are heat loving plants and can tolerate arid climates as well.
Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, and attract butterflies to the garden. They make an excellent cut flower as the more you cut, the more flowers you get! They thrive in the sun and heat of summer, only asking for well-drained soil. When cutting the blooms for the vase it is best to trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, the foliage does not age well.
