Description




Our premium zinnia seeds deliver stable germination rate and robust upright bushy growth. Botanically named Zinnia elegans, common zinnia is a classic summer annual with abundant fully double pom-pom-like blooms in rich mixed colors including red, pink, orange, yellow, purple and white. Thick rigid green stems stand firmly against wind and rain, keeping neat plant shape throughout the growing season.
Zinnia features exceptional high temperature resistance and great drought tolerance, blooming non-stop from early summer until the first autumn frost arrives. It is widely used for large-scale flower bed mass planting, mixed perennial border matching, roadside green belts, courtyard cluster planting, container pot growing and premium fresh cut flower arrangements with ultra-long vase life. It adapts well to ordinary loose well-drained garden soil and does not demand excessive fertilizer input. Regular deadheading of spent flowers and occasional watering during prolonged dry weather are the only routine care required, making it a top choice for summer landscape engineering and novice gardening enthusiasts.

Planting Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Prepare loose, breathable, well-drained loamy soil; avoid low-lying waterlogged plots which cause root and stem rot.
  2. Sowing Method: Evenly scatter seeds on flattened soil surface, cover with a thin 0.3cm soil layer and gently compact the substrate.
  3. Germination Condition: Keep topsoil slightly moist without stagnant water, maintain constant temperature 20–28°C, seeds germinate within 5–10 days.
  4. Seedling Care: Thin crowded seedlings to ensure sufficient spacing and air flow; full direct sunlight prevents spindly lodging growth and maximizes flower quantity.
  5. Daily Maintenance: Water moderately only after topsoil fully dries; continuously remove faded blooms to extend overall flowering period, improve ventilation to lower powdery mildew incidence.
