Zinnia Profusion Apricot

Profusion Apricot zinnias boast beautiful, single to semi-double blooms in warm apricot hues with a distinctive terracotta center. These annuals are known for their profuse and continuous flowering from early summer until the first frost. Growing them from seed is a straightforward process, typically starting indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or directly sowing outdoors once the soil has warmed. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring regular watering, especially during dry spells. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage even more of their delightful apricot blossoms.

Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, and attract butterflies to the garden. They are the perfect cut flower—the more you cut, the more you get. They thrive in the sun and heat of summer, and ask only for well-drained soil. Space the Profusion Double Deep Salmon Zinnia plants generously to prevent overcrowding. When cutting the blooms for the vase, trim off all the foliage; unlike the blooms, it does not age well. Direct sow or start ahead indoors.

Sow seeds outdoors in a sunny location after the danger of frost (recommended). Cover seeds with 1/4 inch of soil with spacing about 12 inches apart. Firm lightly and keep evenly moist. Seedlings should emerge in 7-10 days. Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart when they are 1-2 inches tall.

Seeds can be started indoors 4 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms.
