Zinnia Dahlia Mix Seeds

Info: Zinnia Dahlia Mix is one of the best and brightest Zinnias producing huge fully double 8-12 cm blooms in a dozen bright colours. This mix contains coral, crimson, salmon-rose, scarlet, red, rose, lilac, pink, purple, orange, yellow, and white blooms. It offers eye catching dahlia-flowered blooms at the end of very long and strong stems. The waxy, tightly-packed petals create a pompon bloom that is dotted by a cheerful greenish-yellow central eye.
Zinnias are easy to cultivate delivering a fantastic and colourful display all summer if you remove faded blossoms regularly. They are also excellent cut flowers for colourful summer bouquets. In addition, zinnias as popular farm garden flowers provide food and nectar for insects such as bees, bumble bees and butterflies.

Sowing & cultivation: Sow thinly under-cover from mid-March in good quality seed compost. Only lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them evenly moist. After the last frosts and when large enough to handle thin & transplant to trays and grow on under cooler conditions. For a bushy growth, pinch back young plants. Zinnias prefer a sunny, wind-protected location on a normal, loamy soil. They also cope well with short dry periods and you should avoid waterlogging.
