Zinnia elegans ‘Profusion Double Mix’
This superior strain will grow up to 45cm tall and is a very good cut flower. I don’t ever plant the seed of these in the garden until mid-November as they don’t like cold wet soils. Zinnias love the heat of summer and I can pick many bunches every week. Dense, bushy plants are covered with unique, 5cm diameter daisy-like double blooms. Profusion Double varieties are highly resistant to powdery mildew and so better for more humid regions. One of the most drought tolerant of cottage garden annuals.

Directions: Zinnias must be direct seeded into the garden. Plant 3 seeds per station when the weather warms up (mid-November here at Lambley) in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Thin to the strongest seedling when the first true leaves appear. Zinnias start to flower in January and produce well into April. They are especially good as a cut flower as well as being bright and cheerful garden subjects.
