Zinnia Candy Mix

This Zinnia mix has a high percentage of double and semi-double flowers. Colors are shades of scarlet, raspberry, rose, salmon, tangerine, gold and cream.

Zinnia Seeds are sold by weight (0.5g, 1g etc.). Therefore, seed count may vary by ~10%.

DAYS TO GERMINATION:
3-5 days at 80-85°F (27-29°C)

SOWING:
Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling container 4 weeks before last frost. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Harden-off and transplant out after last frost. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.

Direct seed - After last frost, sow 1/4" deep.

Succession-sow/plant every two weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.

Multiple orders of a single item may be combined into 1 seed envelope unless otherwise instructed by buyer.
